Renowned local embroidery artist and tutor, Angela Dower will be showcasing a collation of unique textile art from the past twelve years at Shearer's Arms Gallery, Geelong from 16-22 July.

The exhibition titled, Romancing the Stitch, will highlight the cherished art of embroidery featuring pieces from Angela Dower and members of her class.

Beautiful fine surface stitching, embellished pictures, gorgeous blankets, cushions and much more using specialty silk threads, fine wools and silk ribbons will be on display.

From the humble origin of simple sewing, embroidery is one of mankind’s oldest art skills with texturally lush works of art painted, not with oils or watercolour, but with threads.

Learning how to embroider is fairly simple, but true mastery can take years and untold amount of patience, not to mention pricked fingers.

The exhibition considers that embroidery is indeed a cherished art form.

Entry is a gold coin donation with all proceeds from the exhibition donated to The Smith Family.
