Celebrating the Year's End: A Look Back and Forward

As December approaches, we find ourselves at the cusp of bidding farewell to yet another incredible year of artistic endeavours and creative exploration. For all of us in the textile art community, it's been a year filled with inspiration, growth, and wonderful memories. Let's take a moment to reflect on the journey we've embarked on and the exciting events that lie ahead.

Upcoming Events

Before we dive into the nostalgia of the past year, let's first mark our calendars for the remaining events of 2023:

1. December 2nd: Our final show of the year is just around the corner. We are at the Makit Fair in Solihull for the day.

2. December 6th: Don't miss the last Experimental Wednesday of the year. It's a chance to push the boundaries of textile art and experiment with new techniques.

3. November 28th: Join us for one more mixed media evening, where we'll explore the rich tapestry of materials and ideas that make our craft so captivating.

4. December 9th: The grand finale awaits on Saturday. From 10 am to 4 pm, we invite you to an Open Day, a celebration of art and friendship. Expect homemade festive treats, including the quintessential Christmas pudding. Of course, we'll have a delightful selection of non-alcoholic beverages for everyone to enjoy.

A Year to Remember

This year has been nothing short of extraordinary. We've had the privilege of participating in exciting shows, hosting enriching workshops, and even surprising ourselves with pop-up exhibitions and shops. Our textile art journey has been marked by creativity and collaboration.

One of the most cherished aspects of this year has been the opportunity to work alongside our dearest friends and make new ones along the way. The camaraderie within our community has been heart-warming, and it's a testament to the passion we all share for the world of textile art.

Gratitude and Excitement

We can't help but express our immense gratitude for the support we've received throughout the year. Our friends, loyal customers, and loving families have been the pillars of our success. As we prepare for the Open Day on December 9th, it's our way of saying thank you.

We can't wait to see everyone's finished works and engage in conversations about our creative journeys. It's a time to share stories, exchange ideas, and draw inspiration from one another. Additionally, we'll discuss our plans for 2024, as we continue to evolve and expand our studio.

Join Us in Celebration

As the year draws to a close, let's come together in the spirit of art and friendship. The Open Day on December 9th promises to be a day filled with joy, laughter, and the warmth of homemade goodies. It's a chance to celebrate the year gone by and look forward to the exciting prospects that await us in 2024.

In the world of textile art, every stitch tells a story, and every piece is a masterpiece in its own right. Let's gather, celebrate, and weave more wonderful stories together.

We look forward to seeing you there on December 9th, from 10 am to 4 pm, as we toast to a year well spent and a future full of promise.
