JOURNEYS

Members were invited to enjoy using their favourite materials to design and stitch original embroidery inspired by the theme "Journeys". The entry could include mix media, machine embroidery and any techniques but hand stitch should predominate. The work was judged on the way in which hand stitching had been used to interpret the idea and to create the embroidery.

The entries for the awards and the entries were selected by:

Brigadier David Chaundler, Master of the Broderers' Company
Carne Griffiths, Creative Director, Hand & Lock
Claire Barrett, Design Assistant, Hand & Lock
and the Embroiderers' Guild

The award winning entries were displayed at the Guild's AGM, April 5 – 7 April at the University Arms Hotel, Cambridge.

All the entries plus close up details were featured in a PowerPoint presentation created by Emily Childs for the AGM.
