A textile exhibition!

​

StitchForum21, as its name suggests, began life in 2021.  It is a reincarnation of our group which had met at the Letchworth Settlement for over 20 years, which stopped during the pandemic and reformed in 2021.

We meet every 2 weeks to stitch and share ideas.  We work on group projects as well as individually, and the results are shown here in our exhibition.

There will be occasional demonstrations, and a sales table.  We hope you will visit and enjoy our show.

A wonderful and unique selection of artwork in various mediums by local artists, Frances Green, Mark Green, Jos Bennell, Paul Hawkins and Jackie Bennett, who have a passion for bees, birds and bears!

An exhibition by John Durham

John produces contemporary paintings which focus on revealing the underlying structures of some of his favourite places and landscapes.

He uses colour and form to explore and reveal the structure and geology of some iconic landscapes using vibrant colours and tints to illustrate the composition of these geologically interesting sites

We’re delighted to welcome back the very talented New Horizons Textile Group to the gallery at BAHC for an exhibition of their work with the theme of ‘Woven Together’. 

They are a diverse group of textile artists, and this exhibition reflects that diversity.  There will be a member of the group at the gallery on most days we are open, who will be happy to chat about their work.

Artists, Sue Peterson and Deborah Prothero are exhibiting mosaics and mixed media paintings. 

Sue's mosasic technique involves a lot of china – a technique known as pique assiette (literally translated as ‘stolen or scavenged plate’). Sue will be present in the gallery on a number of days during her exhibition and looks forward to welcoming visitors.

​

Deborah's artwork is a mix of acrylics, coloured pencils, mixed media, oil, pastel, pen and wash and watercolour. Her subjects range from animals, birds, flowers, landscape and woodland scenes. 

Artist, Hayley Trampenau's biggest passion is animals.  She aims to capture their beauty, form and movement in her own humorous and maybe a touch whimsical style. Working in Acrylic, ink, watercolour and mixed media

Hayley says “My goal is to bring a smile to the viewer yet remain true to the animals natural spirit and essence"

By artist, Debbie Knight

Through colour and layering, texture, scratches, adding and removing paint, Debbie builds an image which is open for the viewer to interpret, but shows an outward expression of the drama that has built the image

​

Debbie's work displays her deep interest in ancient history, myth and faith
