Making a Point, East Anglian Textiles exhibition
11th May – 15th June
EAST is a group recognised for their excellent and innovative use of a wide range of textile techniques, and also for the diverse and often thought provoking concepts that are explored within the exhibition pieces. Although topics vary for each member, they are all considered with the same intense and personal scrutiny. What better way to be Making A Point than via creative expression that results from detailed research and serious contemplation of personal interests?
This exhibition explores a variety of themes from purses and pockets to the brashness of graffiti art. There will be a profusion of vintage fabrics recycled from household furnishings, and colourful knitted sculptural creations. Drawing from language and number systems, nature, history and landscape, the group will present a myriad of forms, shapes, textures, print and stitch techniques. They will stretch the use of textiles and challenge traditional perceptions of them.

In Search of Winchcombe Abbey
An evening lecture with David Aldred
Thursday 27th June 7 – 8.30pm
The fate of Winchcombe Abbey after the Dissolution of the Monasteries paralleled that of Cirencester. Both abbeys were large town centre institutions with an adjacent parish church which were left redundant as places of worship, and consequently the abbeys have both largely disappeared from the landscape. This talk will show how the Influence of the abbey can still be found in the landscape, and how fragments of carved stone can help us to understand its grandeur. David Aldred is a retired school teacher who writes and lectures on North Gloucestershire. He has worked with Professor Christopher Dyer on some of Winchcombe Abbey’s Cotswold estates.

The Prehistoric Sites of Wiltshire
An evening lecture by Bob Clarke
Thursday 26th September, 7 – 8.30pm
The Prehistoric Sites of Wiltshire is a look at some of the familiar and not so familiar sites around the County. Throughout 2010 − 11, author and archaeologist Bob Clarke visited a wide range of prehistoric sites across Wiltshire for a new book. The aim was to introduce a simplified guide to show the range of monuments that survive in the landscape, and get people to visit them. The result was the well received ‘Prehistoric Wiltshire: An Illustrated Guide’.
Utilising imagery produced specifically for ‘Prehistoric Wiltshire’, this talk will take you on a whistle stop tour of the County of Wiltshire. Familiar monuments such as Avebury, Stonehenge and Silbury will feature alongside lesser known monuments such as the Devil’s Den, the Polissoir and the recently dated Marlborough Mound. Along the way, Bob will discuss some of the challenges that beset projects with limited budgets, especially those involving aerial work, along with the rewards for perseverance. Signed copies of his book will be available to purchase on the night of the lecture
