Fisherton Mill in Salisbury will host a vibrant exhibition featuring the work of the HapticArt group in its Main Gallery.
The talented band of artists, who originally met while studying Stitched Textiles at East Berkshire College, have a history of exhibiting together.
Over recent years, global and personal events have given them the opportunity to reflect on a range of topics including their lives, families, environment, and the world, all of which have influenced their current works.
Among the artists is Gill Banks, who was raised by the sea and draws inspiration primarily from the coast.
Ms Banks also finds solace in walking through the countryside by rivers, lakes, and waterways.
Trained as a textile artist, Ms Banks now works predominantly with acrylics, inks, pastels, and collage.
Ticia Lever also channels the beauty of nature through her works.
Ms Lever, particularly intrigued by weathered rocks found along the Cornish coast, previously created bird embroideries in various styles.
However, she has recently turned her attention to depicting the grace of flowers, leaves, and trees.
Then there is Sue Crook who draws her creative juice from the histories of the places she visits.
Recently, Ms Crook has been inspired by England’s precious chalk streams.
She uses hand and free machine embroidery, often dyeing and screen-printing her background fabrics, the majority of which are recycled.
Members of the public can find out more about the work of HapticArt by talking to the artists.
They will be present in the Main Gallery on July 12 from 11am to 3pm.
