The first of our two Degree Award Events was held on 25 May.  Congratulations to our Degree Student winners pictured left who were acknowledged for their outstanding work and achievements this year.

We are very proud of all our Degree Students as their stunning creations go on display around the country.  We hope you have a chance to visit one or more of the exhibitions below.

Our Second Year Degree Students’ work is currently on display at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen in Bovey Tracey, Devon.  The exhibition called Off the Surface conveys the diversity of the art of hand embroidery showcasing the students’ contemporary hand embroidery, alongside the traditional treasures from the Collection which inspired the students’ creations.   The exhibition will be on display until Sunday 9 July.

Our First Year Degree Students will have worked displayed at The Dark Self Exhibition at York St Mary’s from 7 June to 3 September.  The Dark Self is a major new exhibition by Susan Aldworth exploring the experience of sleep.  Aldworth uses the pillowcase as a visual metaphor for sleep, and it is a recurring motif.  Visitors will be immersed in the installation – One Thousand and One Nights – which consists of hundreds of embroidered pillowcases sewn by people from all over the UK, including our First Year Degree Students.  The Gallery York St Mary’s is in Castlegate, York, YO1 9RN.
