Textile Maids: Cornwall. Collected.

Textile Maids are a group of ten contemporary textile artists based in Cornwall. They meet regularly for encouragement and creative direction, and to develop and share techniques. The group first exhibited in 2014 with the highly successful ‘Stitched Art’ show at Heartlands, and a selection of this work was also included in the Exeter Spring Quilt show earlier this year.

CORNWALL. COLLECTED. is their second exhibition and incorporates aspects of textile art inspired by their own personal responses to the shared theme of ‘Cornwall’. The eclectic mix of techniques, from mixed media, hand and machine embroidery and handmade felt, has resulted in a show of exciting and diverse contemporary textiles.

Members of Textile Maids are:

• Debbie Drake
• Margaret Garrood
• Jane Hawkins
