Textile Art. A visit to Material World at Hillier Gardens.

I visited a small, but very interesting exhibition of Textile Art at the weekend. This is called Material World and is being held at the Hillier Gardens near Romsey in Hampshire.

Here is a selection of the work on show. 



Some flower studies with layers of bonded fabric, applique and embroidery.


Also in the show these clever sculpted detailed textile bowls. 


The following 3 works show a range of styles and clever use of materials.





The lovely handcrafted dogs below are made from wool. They all have wonderful expressions on their faces. They are not toys, but decorative items for the home.
These are lovingly made by a very talented lady called Judi McGetrick.   These fantastic dogs can be made to commission , so if you would like one made of your own dog, or that of a friend or relative ( as a perfect and original gift )  why not contact Judi on  j.mcgetrick16@btinternet.com  who would be delighted to hear from you. 



Also some collage style work in mixed media.


These landscapes are great studies in colour as well as the  texture from the overlaying fabrics.



Another example of a textile landscape

I have not got the names of the talented people who exhibited at this show. If your work is shown here and you want a mention, or a link to your blog or website, please send me a message, via this blog, Facebook or Twitter.
