A new exhibition featuring work by ten contemporary textile artists will be on show at the Shire Hall Gallery from Saturday 5 March to Sunday 1 May 2011. Drawing with Thread will feature artists who all use thread as a drawing tool in their work. The exhibition will feature a mixture of hand embroidered and machine stitched pieces, collage, 3D work, woven tapestry and sculptural pieces – as well as innovative work by Cos Ahmet, combining woven tapestry with etching. Staffordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture, Communities and Customers Pat Corfield said: “This exhibition demonstrates that stitching and embroidery can be used in exciting, innovative and thought provoking ways. To see so many different results from one simple material is fascinating.” Drawing with Thread runs from 5 March – 1 May 2011
