'A Splash of Colour' is over (for now)

 

A huge thank you to everyone who visited our 'A Splash of Colour' exhibition at the Quay Gallery, Snape Maltings in October 2024.

For those not able to visit this time Jenny filmed this short video to give you a flavour of the pieces on display. 

'A Splash of Colour' will be shown again at our next exhibition at The Guildhall, Bury St Edmunds in September 2025, alongside a brand new series of work on a new theme.

Dee exhibiting at Grundisburgh Gallery

 

The talents of Out of the Fold member Dee Nicholson can be seen both at the Snape Maltings exhibition and at the Suffolk Open Studios exhibition at the nearby grundisburghhousegallery.co.uk/

The Grundisburgh Gallery exhibition runs until the 29th October and so overlaps with the Out of the Fold exhibition until 23rd October. You could do both in one day!

A Splash of Colour - three days to go

 

'A Splash of Colour' exhibition by members of Out of the Fold Textile Group continues at the Quay Gallery, Snape Maltings, Suffolk until the end of Wednesday 23rd October

Open 10am until 4pm each day

Free entry

The Quay Gallery has a delightful setting with views down the Alde River and the reed beds

The Gallery has natural light from all sides and the textile work on show picks up this light differently through the day

The weather at Snape can also change in an instance and the gallery really feels part of this environment

The group challenge for this exhibition was to make Cubes. These are being shown off to great effect using the window space in the gallery

The Virginia Creeper growing over the gallery an other buildings at Snape Maltings always looks so glorious at this time of year - adding it's own splash of colour

Member will be stewarding the exhibition each day and we have information available about each artist and the makers of the cubes - please ask!

So much to see at 'A Splash of Colour' exhibition

The working practices used by the twelve members of Out of the Fold cover a wide range of different techniques. These are just some of those you can see at the 'A Splash of Colour' exhibition - and that is even before we look at the wide variety of stitch by hand and machine.

And all of  it a real riot of colour.

Can you spot the makers?

Come along to the exhibition to see all of these works in full plus many, many more.

Out of the Fold Artist Statements for 'A Splash of Colour' exhibition

 All members of the group have written an Artist Statement for a booklet to accompany the 'A Splash of Colour' exhibition. Visitors often ask about members and their work when visiting and although there are stewards every day this provides a way of introducing all twelve embers of the group, including our three new members exhibiting for the first time. 

The booklet also includes QR code links to members websites and social media and well as contact details for any future commissions!

Thank you to Frances Overy for compiling and printing the booklet. Hard copies will be available during the exhibition.

We look forward to welcoming visitors to the Quay Gallery, Snape Maltings, Snape, Suffolk IP17 1SP
