VOICES An international quilting exhibition from the Quilt Art group at Devon Guild of Craftsmen Bovey Tracey Devon.
An exciting exhibition of new work by the Quilt Art group. Expressing their own unique voice, each professional quilt maker had the freedom to produce individual quilt work without the restrictions of a set theme or size. Their work is unified by the shared vision of Quilt Art; to extend the boundaries of quilting as an artistic medium and achieve wider recognition of the quilt as an art form. The exhibition will include work by members from across the UK plus Ireland, Belgium, Hungary, Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark and USA.
