The IOM branch of the Embroiderers’ Guild’s launch of their
“Landscapes and Gardens” exhibition at Milntown was very well attended by
both current and past members as well as representatives from other crafting
groups and of the trustees of Milntown Estate.
Unfortunately our Patron, Lady Gozney and her husband the
Lieutenant Governor were unable to attend due to a double booking.
Eleanor Roome, our Chair, praised the members for all their hard
work and enthusiasm in putting this exhibition together.
There are almost 60 pieces on exhibit from the Guild plus 11
pieces from the Young Embroiderers. The exhibition reflects the changing
seasons of Milntown with both vibrant colour and soft hues. There is an
amazing range of technique and skills encompassed within the pieces which
highlights just how talented our Isle of Man branch is. It is interesting
also to see just how widely the branch has interpreted the theme.
Below is just a small sample of the wonderful and varied work on display.
The exhibition remains open until Monday 17th October and is open
each day, 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., except Tuesday when Milntown Estate is
closed.
Its a fantastic exhibition and well worth a visit.
