| Helen Sill and her work |
Helen Sill was exhibiting this year as the Embroiderers' Guild (EG) Education Scholar. This is a new project which Helen is involved with which aims to "to reinvigorate the teaching of stitch in the classroom by providing ideas and top quality resources for teachers that will be linked to the new National Curriculum". The EG hope to roll this out in 2016. Helen's work made quite an impact because it's great and because of her use of a single colour (red).

Julie Heaton's work was fantastic. The detail and precision are amazing. Very interesting to have a traditionally male subject (car engine) represented through a traditionally female medium (stitch).

I also found Sarah Tran's sculptural origami and Holly Hart's 3D assemblages interesting.

And Alice Selwood's cushions were fab (no photos allowed)
The Kingston University & the WI Celebrating 100 Years of Craft Knitwear Project was also on display which I blogged about earlier this year.
