Contemporary Stitched Textiles
The Bassett-Lowke Rooms

Sat 8 Mar 2025 â€“ Sun 25 May 2025

An exhibition of Contemporary Stitched Art Textiles
We are delighted to be hosting this new exhibition of textiles and mixed media work which has been created by the Visualise textile group. Visualise was formed several years ago, by like-minded artists who enjoy creating diverse work with stitch as the common thread.
The exhibition will also feature work by internationally known textile artist and Embroiderers Guild member Nigel Cheney who is the current mentor to Visualise.
On display is a diverse array of abstract, realistic and figurative art using a wide variety of media: paper, fabric (new, distressed and recycled) and found objects which are hand and machine stitched, or felted to create art inspired by both the natural world and the built environment.
The exhibition includes textile art inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and 78 Derngate itself, with framed and small items for sale.
Combining a look round the iconic Charles Rennie Mackintosh House before visiting the exhibition, gardens and shop, followed by partaking of some drink or food in The Dining Room is the perfect way to spend a glorious few hours in Northampton town.
There will be some â€˜Meet the Artistsâ€™ days during the exhibition, details as yet to be announced.
The members meet regularly in Welford, Northamptonshire, with the aim of promoting creativity through rigorous discipline, underpinned by an interest in the history of textiles worldwide.
Opening on Saturday 8th March until Sunday 25th May 2025, closed Mondays
10am- 4.30 pm â€“ free admission to galleries, shop and cafe.
