'Beside the Seaside' Embroidery Exhibition

The Northern Ireland Embroidery Guild are currently exhibiting a collection of members response's to the title 'Beside the Seaside' in Flowerfield's Gallery.  There are a total of 63 works by over 30 different artists, so the breadth of techniques and styles on show is fascinating. It is particularly interesting to see the variety of approaches to the seaside theme.

The exhibition will run until Saturday 30th March.

The Embroidery Guild invite interested parties to attend their monthly meeting, held on the 3rd Saturday of the month at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, Cultra from 10.30am-noon.
