Now that 2009 and the EAST 13 tour is finished, the EAST members are busy working towards our new exhibition TALKING TEXTILES which is due to be launched at Braintree Museum this autumn. For those who missed EAST @ The Warner Textile Archive (or for those who would just like another look), we are pleased to announce that from 30th June to 30th September 2010 this exhibition will be available to see at the Warner Textile Archive - see below for details:
The TALKING TEXTILES exhibition at Braintree Museum will run from 10 September to 16 October 2010, but TALKING TEXTILES will also be travelling to various other venues across the country in 2011. The exhibition will be travelling to Farfield Mill, Sedburgh from the 20 November 2010 to 2 January 2011, and then the Pond Gallery, Snape from 30 June to 6 July 2011. And this week we confirmed the date of our new venue in Northampton - the TALKING TEXTILES exhibition will be at Northampton Museum and Gallery from 5 March to 17 April 2011.
Looking ahead even further we will be taking a new exhibition to the Corinium Museum, Cirencester from 11 May to 15 June 2013; this new exhibition we once again hope to launch in Braintree in 2012. The group is currently in talks with other galleries and once confirmed we will post details on the website.
We are also continuing to add pages giving more information on the individual artists of EAST; this is currently ongoing, but where available a link is made through the artists page.
Many of the individuals of the group run workshops or are available to talk about their work. The group is also planning a talk about the EAST @ The Warner Textile Archive exhibition. More details will be put on the website shortly but if you are interested contact the group secretary at secretary@easttextile.co.uk.

The individual style of each member is as distinctive as the varied themes, which range from ideas born out of foreign travel, local and historical research, or more personal reflections questioning identity and faith. Each member develops her own ideas through careful and considered design work coupled with expertise and skill.
