The latest exhibition at the Astley Cheetham Art Gallery in Stalybridge entitled 'Stitchworks' is available to enjoy until next month.
Inspired by both the natural world and the built landscape it has been created by Textiles Connections (formerly the Glossop and District Embroiderers’ Guild), whose members live across Tameside and Glossop, and features a variety of techniques and materials.
Also included in the exhibition are works by Cheshire-based artist Nikki Parmenter, a member of the group who specialises in mixed-media textile-based work.
Her highly embellished creations draw on the myths and legends of ancient societies and the visual symbols which represented the things that were important to them.
The Astley Cheetham Gallery, which is above the library on Trinity Street, has a changing programme of exhibitions throughout the year. ‘Stitchworks’ continues until September 25 and admission is free.
