Redland Museum is holding an exhibition of creative tapestry work undertaken by a dedicated group over the past 25 years. Creative tapestry is a process by which hundreds of various stitches, using many different threads are employed to create a unique interpretation of a subject. Each individual tapestry would on average be the result of 12-18 months (or more) of dedicated and determined work by the artist.
The exhibition will feature a wide variety of subjects, all of which have been selected as outstanding examples of the work undertaken by the group. The tapestries contain scenes such as women of different cultures Miss Taj Mahal, fashionable ladies during the 1920's Flappers, rustic scenes Cottage Garden, and many different scenes featuring animals Girl With Cheetah.
At various times throughout the exhibition, demonstrations of their work will be provided by the group members. Some partially completed tapestries will be available for viewing. Also on display will be samples of the basic canvas, plus the threads used by the artist in the process of creation. Many members of the tapestry group are long time residents of the Redlands and they have a desire to promote their unique craft to others within our community. They meet every Saturday (9am -1pm) at Manson Framers, 6 Ronald St, Wynnum (just opposite Wynnum Central Rail Station). The exhibition will be open from Monday April 8 every day until May 31.
