Saturday Gallery at the Town Hall

Saturday 29th October 2011

This Saturday we are exhibiting work by Newbury Embroiderers' Guild. They have worked on group projects, about the Kennet and Avon Canal, a 3D project, and they are currently involved with the Embroiderers' Guild Olympic Postcard project. In 2010 Newbury Embroiderers Guild completed the five panels now exhibited in West Berkshire Community Hospital. The embroidery depicts the buildings of the old and new hospital and the people that make up the hospital community. This embroidery came about because they had made four large banners depicting native flowers of the British Isles as a gift for a sewing school in Mozambique. Before they were taken to Africa they were exhibited in the main corridor of the Community Hospital. They generated so much interest that the hospital commissioned an embroidery of their own to replace them. Read more
