From The Earth exhibition

I am delighted that 'From Shawl to Shroud' has been selected for the very first From The Earth exhibition.
This group, set up by Alice Fox and Caroline Bell, are promoting the use of only natural and green processes in textile art. Everything used must be either natural or recycled   www.fromtheearthtextiles.co.uk

Originally made for the Out Of The Fold  gallery at the Knitting and Stitching shows in 2014 my piece is made from recycled calico coffin cover and is rust dyed using recycled sofa springs. Mostly hand stitched.

The exhibition will take place during the month of June in the Mardelybury Gallery, Datchwood, Herts (near ArtVanGo)   www.psarts.co.uk
