Our textile artists

A passion for sewing in Nieu Bethesda has found expression in the Arts Centre’s textiles training. Participants are encouraged to think as artists, developing drawing skills and individually designing each piece to express stories and subjects from their own lives.

Commissions

Anyone interested in commissioning a quilt or wall-hanging should contact Jeni@bethesdafoundation.org

 

Christelene told me about the Arts Centre. I was very interested, and I love to be working here. I love the sewing by hand. The people here are all so nice. I’ve made three bags, one sold, one gone to Johannesburg. I’m making a skirt now – with sweets on it.
