Proud tutor moment

The Creative Stitch Graduate Show 2023 was a fantastic show of work by students completing Creative Stitched Textiles and Advanced Stitched Textiles courses.

28 students exhibited work so it is impossible to show it all here but as a sample of the huge variety of work here are just a few.

So proud of eveyone for not only the original textile work they designed and produced but for the way everyone pulled together to put on a great show

The standard of work and originality on show was amazing.

The challenge of hanging some of the installations was considerable.

Most of the Advanced students will now go on to exhibit their work as individuals or as members of textile groups












Installation by Elaine Aston
 Students select a theme to research and inspire the body of work created during the course. These are as varied as the students themelves. This year we had 'Bees'  'The Human Figure' 'The Deben Peninsula' and 'Nature's Way' as just a few of the themes.
