ART EXHIBITION- TEXTILE TALES

24th NOVEMBER-6th DECEMBER 2025

Herts Textile Arts (HTA) was formed in 2004 under the umbrella of the Herts Visual Arts Forum, with the idea of bringing textile practitioners together to exchange ideas and knowledge, and to give each other support. 
This eclectic group is comprised of career artists, hobbyists, and those who found textile art after successful careers in other fields.
They meet regularly and organise an active programme of exhibitions showcasing the work of their members, who employ a wide range of textile art techniques, including using textiles in combination with other media.

Textile Tales is a fascinating exhibition of work by 14 members of the Herts Textile Art group (HTA), and introduces you to the range and variety of textile art and craft.  
Displaying older pieces alongside new work, the group showcases examples of a host of different techniques - some traditional and some experimental/groundbreaking - which all demonstrate the members’ talent and passion for their craft. 
In the exhibition you will see embroidered, printed, woven, and knitted pieces; articles in mixed media, or constructed from recycled materials; 2-D and 3-D work.
Come and explore the tales that these textiles tell - about their inspiration, creation, and construction

FESTIVE WOVEN TAPESTRY WORKSHOP WITH LUCY SUGDEN    

NOVEMBER 27 - 11am-1pm - £25

Learn how to create simple but striking designs using woven tapestry techniques with a festive twist. 

In this fun relaxing workshop, you will create your own mini weave, which once finished can be used as rug for your mug or a beautiful festive decoration. 

Choose from a selection of designs or create your own with guidance from Lucy, who will have a range of coloured wools to inspire you, from bold and bright to soft, muted tones oreven a hint of sparkle. Looms will be pre-warped and ready, so you can focus on weaving and enjoy the relaxing rhythm of the process

Whether you’re a complete beginner or wanting to develop your skills, this workshop is the perfect way to slow down and loose yourself in the rhythm of weave. 

Spaces are limited and must be booked in advance
