I did not know what this sculpture represented as I as wheeled past it pdq!
However, In response to comments I have done some research - well asked the neighbour, who tells me it represents the seams of coal - three of them that go out from Seaham under the North Sea. Will find out more on our next visit!

FASHION AND EMBROIDERY - REVIEW

The Fashion and Embroidery Show at Harrogate is now run by a business instead of being sponsored by Madeira.

Perhaps that was why this years show seemed to lack the usual buzz. Colleges, students and individual textile artists were still present, but there was also the usual plethora of vendors.

Ii enjoyed it and will go again, Here are a few pictures.

FIBRE FOCUS

This was another piece from Fibrefocus.

ARTHUR RIDLEY

Arthur has been lent an Embellisher by Babylock, so was experimenting laying down yarns on a fabric base. You can see samples on the wall behind him. He is better known for his Free Motion Embroidered head gear.
