Exhibition

As promised here are some more details about our planned exhibition later this year:

Venue: Castle Park Art Centre, Frodsham, Cheshire.

We have Gallery 3 which also includes the staircase.

Date: 23rd October - Christmas 2007

Private view will be held on Friday 26th October from 7.30pm - 9pm (wine to be provided!!)

Work to be submitted:

It is hoped that all members will submit work. If any selection is made it will be on the basis of available space and what is needed to make the exhibition work as a whole.

Pieces to be exhibited can include:

• work form our workshops (excluding the Colette Gilmartin workshop)


• felt which has an element of hand dyeing incorporated in it


• hand spun fibres


• knitted and crochet items which use yarns that are hand spun and/or hand dyed


• weaving


• baskets

All work submitted must have been completed in the last three years and not previously exhibited outside our guild.

Please note that as the room will be in use for other activities during the week (i.e. yoga class) all items must be hung on the wall, although there may be the chance of using a mannequin to display clothing.

Commission: the Gallery commission on items sold during the exhibition is 25% so bear this in mind when pricing items should you choose to sell.

Timetable:

• February meeting - forms will be available for members to take and complete giving details of the pieces of work to be submitted.


• May meeting - submission forms to be returned by 26th May or posted to Meryl, Janice, Janet or Averil.


• September meeting - work to be completed and delivery.

Publicity, insurance, hanging arrangements etc are all being checked and dealt with. There will be updates at each meeting and on this blog.
