Out of the Fold are preparing for a large exhibition of new work on the theme of 'Material Dialogues' which will be shown at the St Margaret's Gallery in Norwich from 21st Sept until 4th October 2026
As part of 'Material Dialogues' we are working in collaborative pairs, drawn at random.
My partner is Frances Overy and we are holding a material dialogue between the traditional woolen, red madder dyed fabric of Norwich where Frances lives and the silk, blue indigo dyed fabric of Sudbury where I live
We have both dyed a mixture of woolen and silk fabrics in madder, indigo and mustard and shared these to create pieces of work
The range of colours we have acheived is amazing - the same base fabrics have dyed in very different ways. The water of Norfolk has produced much deeper, redder colours whilst the limey Suffolk water has given me a more orange palette - but they all tone in together
I am using sections of old woolen blanket resuced from my Mother' airing cupboard as the base to embellish and kantha stitch.
The results will be displayed on wooden spools turned by Frances using chestnut wood from her garden
Out of the Fold are one of the Alumni Groups taking part in the fnal Creative Stitch Graduate Show 2026 and all six of the collaborative pairs will be showning their results
