East Meets West (End of Edinburgh)

4 – 24 August, 10am - Midnight

Acoustic Music Centre, Venue 123, 10 Orwell terrace, Edinburgh EH11 2DZ

An exotic but whirlwind trip to Hong Kong to dip into the colours and culture of the Far East has led to an exhibition of work by Pat Archibald, a textile artist. The pieces show the night colours; the lights, the darks and shades of the city and also reflect on how 5,000 years of Chinese tradition combined with Colonial influence has shaped the history and culture of Hong Kong. Amongst the pieces you will see some with a strong celtic connection to the orient.

Festival of Quilts 14 -17 August 2008 Birmingham, NEC A Gallery Exhibition by the Members of Turning Point We started our group four years ago and now we feel that if it did not exist, we would have to make it up. There are ten of us and we all live in central Scotland. We each feel a need for a place where we can stretch our creativity amongst our peers, each striving to excel on a personal level so as not to let the rest down. At the Festival of Quilts we shall show our Rainbow Collection. This is a stunning display of tall narrow pieces taking us through the spectrum and has never been hung in its entirety. We shall also exhibit new collections. One based on the mythology of Celtic trees and one worked round three fabrics chosen by one of the group. We also plan to each make a piece which expresses what Scotland means to us.
