What is textile art and when does a craftsperson become an artist? The questions run like a thread through the work of the seven students graduating this year from the Julia Caprara School of Textile Arts. All of them have a passion for stitched textiles that has carried them through six challenging years of juggling jobs and family with developing their creative voices. The work is diverse both in technique and concept ― a result of distance learning where no one style prevails. Hand and machine embroidery, knitting, felting, quilting and appliqué combine with paper, plastic and painting in an exhibition that may stretch the definition of “embroidered textiles” almost to breaking point but has its origins firmly and respectfully in its traditions. Thur 1-5pm, Fri 10am-8pm, Sat 10am-8pm, Sun 10am-3pm
