Birch Trees : Summer, Handmade wet felt by Susan Mulcock

"I have been working with textiles since I was a child, learning to dress-make, patchwork, knit, embroider, spin and dye. I love the versatility of textiles- the colour, depth and texture that can be achieved. Felting for me is painting with fibre, fabric and stitch- being able to add warmth and depth to a surface, as well as shine and contrast by incorporating a range of fibres and fabrics. I dye the colours and spin the yarn I require for each separate project, to 'paint' landscapes I love."

Charon Sky by Stitch textiles by Jean Littlejohn

Jean’s work references the natural rhythms and cycles that affect and influence us. Mythology and ancient history continue to fascinate and her work seeks to combine these two elements in recognition of the timelessness of the impact of moons, tides and the sun on our lives and culture.

She typically works in mixed media but these works are predominately hand stitched as she finds the direct and simple marks add impetus to the images.

Field Notes II, Tapestry by Jill Walker

These small tapestries are quiet observations gathered through time spent walking and foraging in the landscapes I call home. Working slowly by hand, I use weaving as a way of bringing together collected leaves and natural materials, memories and my understanding of place.

The materials themselves become part of the narrative. Daffodil leaves and grasses are woven directly into the pictorial landscape, while gathered seeds and plant materials are used to dye paper yarns. Through the slow rhythm of weaving, these elements carry traces of season, memory and landscape. Dampened grasses describe the wings of moths, while woven marks translate pressed leaves from a personal herbology. Rather than depicting nature from a distance, the work emerges through an intertwined relationship with the materials and places from which it is made.

Presented together as Field Notes I–VI, the pieces reflect my ongoing interest in how careful acts of making can deepen our connection to place. Through the slow accumulation of thread, these small observations become records of attention, inviting viewers to pause and look more closely at the quiet resilience and beauty of the natural world.

Hanging Basket Ceramic by Ed Brown

"Ed has created a unique range of garden ceramics for the discerning gardener. Each piece is individually glazed and kiln fired to stoneware temperature to ensure durability and resistance to frost. The blue-green glaze and salmon decorative band have subtle variations which are a natural part of the firing process. A hanging basket or cornucopia makes an ideal gift that can be enjoyed for many years."

Deep In Dappled Light, Freehand machine embroidery by Alison Holt

"This work shows my exploration of the play of light and texture within natural forms. My attention has repeatedly returned to ancient woodlands throughout my 40 year career as a textile artist. The twisted forms enveloped by moss and lichen give scope to my combination of stitch and paint." - Alison

'Alternative Walk', Hand & Machine Embroidery by Jan Beaney

Jan’s work for this exhibition is based on observations of Burgh Island in early Spring. Her aim is to capture the essence of the location, not a literal interpretation, but just an appreciation of some humble, intimate and quiet memories of a special place. Jan machined on a soluble material to create a unique cloth to support layers of machine and hand stitches.

Eco printed scarf by Jane Hunter

"My work is a culmination of a lifelong love of nature, creativity, colour and textiles. I studied constructed textiles for my degree and have continue creating textiles investigating techniques ever since. Ecoprinting is a technique that I came to more recently that combines many of my loves and interests, nature , natural dyes, and the happy accident that contributes to creativity.

Ecoprinting is a method of applying colour and leaf patterns to textiles using a combination of traditional natural dyeing techniques and contact printing with the foliage. The leaves and plants I use are mostly foraged in my local environment.

There are always surprises and the colours can change with the rhythm of the seasons and new plants and flowers are discovered to add to the soft, natural palette. The process from the beginning, foraging for the foliage, to the end, the great reveal of the steaming bundle, delights me. It is a very accessible technique and I enjoy passing on my knowledge and passion through workshops to groups or individuals." - Jane
