We’re really pleased that our textile art exhibition ‘A Special Place’ will be taking place at Ely Cathedral from 9th – 22nd March 2022. Please come and visit! The theme of the exhibition is ‘A Special Place’.
‘We all have a secret somewhere to go to for comfort, inspiration or happiness. In this exhibition, five textile artists explore their own inspirational locations.
This fascinating collection of work ranges from handmade felt to goldwork through mixed media to quilting, all exquisitely executed. The work is based on local gardens and faraway places. Many of the exhibits will be available to purchase.
Barbara Deacon, Cheryl Montgomery, Elaine Grahame, Jane Robinson and Suzanne Ball have worked together for ten years. This is their third group exhibition, after previous successful exhibitions in Worthing & Milton Keynes’.
I’ll be at the Cathedral on some of the days, so if you’d like to meet up, do let me know when you’re planning to visit. There is more detail on the Cathedral website, for example opening times etc. Entry to the exhibition is free, and there’s a charge of £8.50 to visit the rest of the Cathedral.
Hello, I noticed that you recently did an exhibition at Ely Cathedral, which I frustratingly didn’t know about. I live close to Ely. I am looking for a textile course locally and wondered whether you offered anything / knew of any? Many thanks

Hi Davina,
Sorry you missed us at Ely Cathedral. I’m not local to Ely, but one of our group lives near Cambridge and is in the process of moving to Ely. She belongs to the Cathedral Broderers group, and she would know what there is in your area in terms of stich groups and workshops etc. Would you like me to pass on your contact details to her? It might be a while before she can reply as she is in the middle of packing up her house, but I’m sure she would know what’s available in your area. Let me know if you’d like me to pass her your email address.
Best wishes,
Jane
