The Nature of Things examined in annual exhibition

The creative talents of the Newcastle Creative Embroiderers and Textile Artists (NCEATA) will focus on nature in their annual exhibition, opening at Newcastle’s Timeless Textiles Gallery in December.

The Nature of Things exhibition showcases the NCEATA artists’ diverse responses, over the course of the year, to three woodblocks created by local printmaker and artist Bob Seal.

Renowned for their creative interpretation in textile art, members of the NCEATA have responded to the theme, The Nature of Things, in surprising and unpredictable ways to create this exhibition.

With an array of fibre art techniques used and extended, the works are bursting with texture, dimension and colour. Contemporary embroideries, art quilts, creative wearables, art dolls, felted sculptures and mixed media collages are testament to the versatility, creativity and artistry of this group.

The Nature of Things will run at Timeless Textiles from December 27 to January 14.
