between 12.00 and 3.00

Studio 21 would be very happy if you would join us at Hastings Arts Forum
and add to the ever-growing Continuum – have a look here to see
the stitches started at its first outing.

Have a glass of wine and sit for a while and stitch. Don’t worry if you haven’t
sewn before, just come and join in!

Everyone has a memory that evokes a particular thought, time or location:
a special sense of place. We hope that our collaborative work Continuum will
inspire you to add your own marks and stitches to this exciting project.

Everyone has a memory which evokes a particular thought, time or location: a special sense of place. Some of these are literal, some metaphorical and some representational. This collaborative project draws together Studio 21s highly individual memories to create a long, winding landscape. The different perspectives, scales and techniques create a piece a little like the complex sense of place in our minds. With it we hope to inspire all to look at their own special places.

Do you recognise any of these stitches?



Studio 21 presented an interactive gallery at the Festival of Quilts (11-14 August 2011) on the theme Continuum: A Sense of Place.

The exhibit comprised two elements: Studio 21 artist’s pieces and an interactive section where visitors add their own marks and sense of place to Continuum.

We were overwhelmed by the reaction we had to the piece and the wonderfully long cloth which grew as the week went on. You might recognise some of the artists or their work – have a look. No two pieces are the same and there are contributions from people from all over the world – and even 5-year old Freya added some lovely stitches.

It is hoped that there will be other opportunities to view A Sense of Place – keep an eye on the website for further details.

A book illustrating each Studio21 artist’s work is available – if you are interested in a copy, email us for further details.

Comments:

I just wanted to say a Thank you for the banner at the Festival of Quilts which enabled people to sit, be creative, share and enjoy stitching together. The table full of goodies with threads, fabric was a joy (unfortunately we just had too many quilts to see) or else I would have sat their all afternoon.

Your landscape you exhibited was beautiful.

Continuum: A Sense of Place

Studio 21 will present an interactive gallery at this year’s festival of quilts 11-14 August 2011 at the NEC, Birmingham. A large piece on the theme A Sense of Place is being created by each of the Studio 21 artists and will be complimented by an interactive section to be created by visitors to the exhibition.

Everyone has a memory which evokes a particular thought, time or location: a special sense of place. Some of these places are literal, some metaphorical, some representational.

This collaborative project draws together Studio 21 members’ highly individual memories to create a long, winding landscape. The different perspectives, scales, textures and techniques create a piece a little like the complex sense of place in most of our minds. With it we hope to inspire all who look at it to think of their own special places.

Throughout each of the individual landscapes birds migrate: the linking thread or continuum joining each piece. As you travel the landscape in its magnificent diversity, from quietly observed corners to wide vistas, look for the migrating birds in each piece.

As part of this exhibition there will be an opportunity for each visitor to add their own marks and sense of place to Continuum. Keep an eye on this web site to see how this interactive Continuum piece develops.

A book illustrating each artist’s work will be available at the Festival of Quilts – if you are interested in a copy, email us for further details.
