Textile Challenge 2010
Get those creative juices flowing with the annual Textile Holiday Tours Challenge. If you've been on one of our tours and feel inspired to produce a piece of textile work, then this could be the challenge you're looking for!
This challenge is purely for fun (no Ferrari prizes I'm afraid!), but as a textile maker myself, I know how much we enjoy a challenge (and the motivation!) to make something.
The challenge
The theme for 2010 is 'The Rose'. Using the rose as your starting point, you can produce a piece of work in any textile medium; knitting, crochet, tapestry, embroidery, mixed media, lace, cross-stitch, goldwork, blackwork, patchwork, quilting - the list is endless! There are no restrictions on size. The only thing we do insist on is that you have fun!
Submitting your work
Simply take a photo of your completed work, and if you have a photo of your original inspiration piece, taken on one of our trips, it would be great to display this alongside your finished piece. Then email jpeg(s) together with the name of the work. Don't forget to send us your name and contact details.
All entries will be posted on the web site soon after we receive them. If you are shy about showing your work, then we can post it to the site anonymously, just let us know. Closing date for this challenge is November 30th 2010.
All these jpegs and email beyond you but you would like to submit some work? Then just contact us by telephone, 01621 869089, to discuss options.
Enjoy yourself, and we look forward to seeing the entries - you never know, we might get generous with a small prize!
Happy Making!
