About the Exhibition

Twelve members from the Textile Art Group, formed at the end of 1980, have come together to form this exhibition. The group, originally formed by Cynthia Morgan, was in response to a need she saw for a constructive craft criticism group. The group met four times yearly with an independent critic invited to review their work.

Twenty seven years later this talented and creative group of award winning textile artists bring with them not only a long history and love for design, colour, texture and fabric, but collectively they also bring an impressive list of prizes.

The inspirations for their textiles come from their responses to the world around them. From memories of glorious sunsets to interesting rock formations and twisted patterns of the branching boab trees they transform their ideas into art quilts, cushions and canvases.

Many have exhibited nationally and internationally and are represented in private collections throughout the globe. Several of the exhibitors also teach quilt making and textiles. work.
They see the passing on of their knowledge as a way to unlock the door of personal creativity for their students.
