Textile Maids: The Written Word

This, the fourth exhibition of Textile Maids work celebrates the written word. As one of the most expressive forms of communication, they use words to tell stories, record history and reveal their thoughts and feelings. Each artist has explored her own visual interpretation of The Written Word, resulting in an exciting exhibition of contemporary textile art. 

Textile Maids is a group of seven 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 followed by Cornwall. Collected in 2016 at the Poly Falmouth and in 2018 ChainREACTION both at the Poly Falmouth and the Castle Bude. A selection of work has also been shown at the Exeter Spring Quilt Show and at the Royal Cornwall Hospital Truro. 

Artists featured are: Deborah Drake Jane Hawkins Sue Hooper Jenni Milne Rosemary Newton Margaret Pellow and Liz Porter.
