FRIENDS FIRST THURSDAYS
Friends of the Gallery
First Thursday Textile Group
This group came into being following the knitted postcard workshop organised by the Gallery in May 2007. Everyone who attended the workshop enjoyed themselves so much that it was decided to meet on a regular basis to share experiences and knowledge,
as well as have a chat, a laugh and learn something new.
From discussions at the June meeting it was felt that each
meeting should have a ‘theme’ and that the format would be approximately postcard size – but the size of the work was up to individuals. The reason for postcard size was that a number of the postcards could possibly be put together to form a larger piece and that a smaller size was achievable within the workshop time.
There will be a small requirements list – nothing that you won’t already have at hand.
It is the intention of the group not to plan too far ahead so as to
enable all group members to have input regarding the theme
The theme for February 2008 is Domestic Goddess.
to discuss ideas and techniques at this meeting.
Aim for each year is to have an exhibition of finished works at the Community Gallery space.
All members of the Tamworth Regional Gallery Friends are
welcome to attend on the first Thursday of the month between
10.00 am and 3.00 pm.
No fees or charges involved!
Next First Thursday Textile Day: Thursday 6 August 2009
