The vision behind Stitch by Stitch was clear: to highlight the extraordinary diversity, innovation, and depth within the textile arts. Through a strong and varied body of work, the exhibition demonstrates how textiles have transcended traditional boundaries to firmly claim their place within the realm of fine art.
Featuring nationally and internationally recognized artists, the exhibition offers a compelling reflection of current themes, contemporary explorations, and a high standard of craftsmanship. Every piece speaks to a commitment to concept, technique, and creativity, challenging perceptions and inspiring a deeper appreciation for textiles as a powerful, dynamic medium.
We invite you to journey through these works, each one stitched not only with thread, but with imagination, passion, and the enduring spirit of artistic innovation.

Alison says: “We will have over 120 textile artworks on display. It’s been great to get together with Suzette to bring this textile event to Oswestry again. We would love to see a lot of visitors enjoying the exhibition too either at our Opening Event on Saturday 5 July or during the 8 week run”
