Stitched Stories
Cutting Edge Textile Group
4th - 29th July 2023
Following the success of its 2019 exhibition Cutting Edge Textile Group planned to run another event in September 2020 – the theme of which was Make Do & Mend. It was to be an exhibition of members work lovingly created from recycled and upcycled materials. This exhibition never took place as the COVID pandemic took over everyone’s lives.
So, this exhibition encompasses work from 2020 to the current day. There are recycled and upcycled stitched stories completed prior to the lockdown, work undertaken during lockdown when restrictions gave time to reflect, research and investigate new techniques and mediums. And more recent work that has been inspired following the freedom to roam and investigate the world around us.
The exhibition is an opportunity to showcase the work of our wonderfully talented group. We are privileged and proud to be able to share our work with the wider artistic community and grateful to the Queen Street Gallery, Neath for allowing us the space.

Nature In Art
Susie Strange
3rd - 24th June
The inspiration for my work comes from my interest in the passing of time and ever changing movement of the landscape and sea, and in texture, colour and light.
The process of painting is of great importance to me and I occasionally incorporate natural materials such as ochre or fine sand to build depth and texture. I paint mainly in acrylic or oil on canvas or board, from onsite sketches as a starting point backed up by imagination and experience. More recently I have been exploring watercolour and its characteristics.
In addition to a range of paintings I work as a muralist and mosaicist. Projects include those for schools and private houses.
Exhibitions have included both solo and in group exhibitions in Switzerland, Stockholm, London, and elsewhere in the UK, including venues such as the Royal Watercolour Society, Royal West of England Academy and Theatr Mwldan in West Wales.
Through a desire to delve deeper into understanding nature and its processes, I have a BSc in Environmental Science with Physical Geography and MSc in Advanced Taxonomy & Diversity (Imperial College, London).
