Creative Stitch Graduate Show 2023

The Creative Stitch Graduate Show 2023 will take place on Sat 22nd and Sun 23rd July at Needham Market Community Centre from 10am to 4pm each day


17 Creative Stitched Textiles students (tutor Diane Tompkins) and 11 of my Advanced Stitched Textiles students will exhibit work completed as part of their course. This will include stitched books, 3D work, garments and fantasy costume, and  installations. Lots to see!

Original design work and sampling will also be on show so you can see how pieces of work were conceived, developed and completed.


Advanced students will also exhibit studies of contemporary designer makers including stitched samples in their style


Our traders will be The Cosy Cabin, Mellymade Designs and beautiful handdyed threads and fabrics from Sandra Beech


We will have a student makers stand where students have the opportunity to offer handmade items for sale 


A new feature this year will be a programme of student demonstrations throughout the day showcasing different techniques - some will offer 'taster kits' for visitors to try

Plus our usual stash sale and tombola. 


SEFWI will be providing the refreshemnts with homemade scones and cakes.
