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.

Carnegie Talk - Northampton's Theatres - a talk by Alex Wood
2025-03-22 14:00 - 16:00 | Northampton Central Library, Abington Street, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 2BA, United Kingdom
Northamptonâ€™s theatrical history is fascinating.
Inspired by a love of all things theatre which started when he worked in the Royal Theatreâ€™s Gallery Box Office, Alex Woodâ€™s subjects range from the earliest pop-up theatres, a play in which real swords were drawn in the stalls, Charlie Chaplinâ€™s appearance in the town (probably), stars and strippers at â€˜the Newâ€™ and the union of 19th and 20th centuries at the Royal and Derngate.

Lemn Sissay
2025-03-25 19:30 | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
Spend an evening with a master of the spoken word, BAFTA nominated author, activist, performer and Sunday Times number one bestseller, Lemn Sissay OBE as he takes to the stage with this brand-new show.
Every morning for 10 years Lemn has written four lines and shares them on his socials with no explanation and no title. After catching the public’s attention, they have been transformed into murals, quoted in books, made into songs and even tattoos. He chose the best of them for Let the Light Pour In which became an instant Sunday Times Bestseller- and now a live show.
With live readings from his books, Lemn will unravel some of the original stories behind the poems, and how they have been used in people’s lives and his own. Expect the unexpected. A night bursting with light to stave off the dark.
With the unique chance to pepper Lemn with questions, this thought-provoking and entertaining show on the power of creativity can’t be missed. An evening full of truth, humour and hope, Lemn will allow us into his morning poetry practice and show us all how he lets the light pour in.
I will build an embassy
In your heart over time
There is a plot of land inside me
Build one in mine
Lemn will be signing books after the show. Copies of Let the Light Pour In (RRP £12.99) and additional bestselling titles will be available for purchase at each show.
