An exciting exhibition of embroideries opens in the Tatham Art Gallery’s Schreiner Gallery on June 26 at 18h00.

On show will be the work of the Fancy Stitch Group from Ingwavuma – brilliantly coloured single-thread hand embroideries. Some are in the form of pictures or wall hangings, but others are made up into greeting cards, key rings, bookmarks and photograph frames. Their colours are brilliant and their stitches meticulous. While some are purely decorative, others tell stories of rural life.

The exhibition runs until August 3. Gallery hours are 10h00 to 18h00 (Tuesday to Sunday). On June 27 and 28, members of the group will be Artists in Residence at the gallery.
