York Textile Artists: The Delights And Challenges Of Starting A Group

Today on the Stitchery Stories embroidery and textile art podcast, two members of York Textile Artists share their story of forming a new group.

The group was formed by uniting 8 textile artists around the city of York who had all exhibited at York Open Studios in April 2018. An early guest of Stitchery Stories, Bridgette Bernadette Karn has been a major instigator of the group.

The group aim to not only support each other in creating textile art but also to act as a force for change in promoting the value of Textile Arts.

Susan Weeks chats with Carol Coleman & Alison Spaven about:

How the group became established The aims and mission of the group The members and their areas of expertise The challenges of setting up a group Do they spend time together as a group? The journey to getting a group bank account The excitement of their forthcoming exhibition 10th & 11th November
