A chance to see some textile works.

 I had some spare time today in the city. I had heard that several people I know, or know of, had works in an exhibition at 45 Downstairs, a gallery in Melbourne. Here is a link to the exhibition.

So off I trotted. Yes, it was downstairs and I was able to get down and up again - not always a comfortable proposition lately. I am glad I could get to it!

It was textile-based, quite a large exhibition. 


There were works by people I know through my tapestry weaving group, the Embroiderers Guild of Victoria (Australia) and some by people whose classes I have attended at various events. Plus others, of course.

There was a large range of techniques and ideas. I think I am feeling inspired to try some techniques - once I get over the current inertia. But it was a good sign that I even went, so here's hoping. 

I am still working on my tapestry weaving, so that might take precedence - but now I might actually get on with it so that I can try some of these other ideas. Not that I expect to produce work of the quality I saw today, just that I was inspired to try.
