<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had a wonderful turn out of members and guests for the official opening of our exhibition at the Swindon Museum and Art gallery. The Mayor Garry Perkins and his partner performed the official ceremony and the refreshments were provided by Olive Tree Café. The cakes were delicious. The Mayor and his partner were very interested in the exhibits and how we had used the historic photographs as an inspiration. Here is a small selection of the work on show. However the work is best viewed at the Art gallery to get a real appreciation of size, texture and scale. The exhibition is running until September. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were very lucky to have an inspiring talk given by Cynthia Jackson from Canada on the Broderers Crown at our April meeting. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were taken on a fascinating journey of research in the tradition of the Crowns created for the medieval guilds. The goldwork was breath taking. For more information go the Broderers Guild</span></div>

work on show</span></b></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The work on show is particularly
varied this time. Members have explored the theme from many points of view. Some
have approached it literally, exploring things seen at home and on their
doorstep. Others have looked at what was close at hand when holidaying or
travelling in very different places. Still others have focused especially on
the ‘found’ aspect of the theme, searching through their stash for fabric,
thread or previously unfinished pieces to inspire and create anew. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The techniques employed include
hand and machine embroidery and stitch, patchwork and quilting, weaving and the
use of original photographs and digital media to generate images.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>As always, there are many traditional pieces to
be seen but there is also<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> abstract work which explores
novel ways of working with the old crafts, using unexpected materials or taking
an unusual perspective. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Throughout the year,
members have taken part in a group challenge to create Sinchies, small pieces 6
inches square where the only limiting factor other than size was the use of
specified pairs of colours. These colour combinations were drawn out randomly
every two months and members were then left to their own devises to use any
style, fabric or thread that took their fancy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Great Western Embroiderers was formed in 2007. Members share a love of
stitch and textiles and</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">
have a wide range of skills and interests. Many had very little experience on
joining the group. Others had studied for and gained specialist qualifications.

The main media of interest to us all, is fabric and thread, although we are also known to use traditional media in our sketchbooks. We are all very individual in the way that we create our art work. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So lots of excited exchanges of ideas and discussions about the new theme and about the events for this year ... some members started stitching their ideas..... others were reflecting and using notebooks and sketchbooks. Lots of cups of tea and cake helped the process. We have started! Absolutely amazing. </span></div>
