Tin Hut Textiles Exhibition

The recent exhibition by Tin Hut Textiles held at the Cinema Gallery in Aldeburgh went very well.
I am just one of the eight very talented members of THT and this was our first major exhibition.

The theme of the show was 'First Elements' and we had chosen 'Copper' to showcase our skills this time. All 8 members had the challenge of making a piece with Copper as the theme and to a standard size of 12" x 24" and mounted onto a canvas.

'Decay' was another theme chosen and each Tin Hut Textiles member had to make a piece with this theme 9" wide but at any length. As you can see the results are as varied as the personalities of the makers.

Our final group display was one using Ufford Church as the inspiration as the group meets in the Village Hall (with the distinctive tin roof which gives the group it's name) next to this lovely church. Each if chose a part of the church or churchyard and made a wallhanging 18" x 24"

Below is Janina Moore's  lovely delicate piece based on some stone carving in the church
