obviously fairly close.Am in Brede near Hastings,doing bits and

Deeply impressed by the exhibition, I must mention my sister, Hazel 
Imbert's work.  I studied under Constance Howard at Goldsmith's 
College and her influence on me was profound.  She showed what 
emotion can be imparted with textile work at a time when everyone 
had matching handbags and shoes and 'blue and green should never be 
seen'!  

I am working on textual contemporary quilting in Sydney Australia 
and welcome visits from artists to my studio     

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your work at Brighton Creative Stitches 
and also your fascinating talk. Are you looking for new members? I've 
got a City and Guilds 1 and 2 embroidery and need company and 
inspiration! Either way best wishes for your future ventures.

I attended the exhibition yesterday at Brighton and was completely 
blown away by the work on show at the necrotex stand. Quite apart 
from the exquisite work on show, the written pieces brought up a 
depth of emotion for me that I didn't expect.How brave of all to 
express their deepest and most intimate thoughts about their lives 
and the inner child and to share it with all of us. Needless to say 
I was crying before I saw anything else!!!....not a problem! I was 
aware that a friend, Bea had her piece of work on show(beautiful, 
just beautiful)and knew the general theme of the exhibits, but the 
standard of such wonderful, poignant work was of the highest. I 
thoroughly enjoyed sharing this with all the people involved and 
would like to say a big thankyou to all. I would be very interested 
to enrol on a course with you...could you possibly e mail any 
details to me if you have them. Thanks again. Jill Palmer

Dear Berni,Discovered you on this site almost by accident.Was 
excited to know what you are up to and thrilled to have found you so 
near by after all these years .Would be great to catch up/meet 
up.Will be in Brighton on Sun 29th Jan if you fancy being in 
touch.Hope all goes well with you,loved your bags by the 
way .Regards Fiona 

IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND WORDS TO DESCRIBE MY FEELINGS AFTER VISITING 
UNION PLACE LAST WEEKEND...WONDERMENT EVEN JOY BUT ALSO INSPIRED, NOW 
I KNOW WHY I HAVE DECIDED TO GO BACK TO ART COLLEGE,AFTER A25 YEAR 
BREAK....THANKYOU.

Looks great - wish I'd seen it.  I'll pass the details on to 
Miranda - she works with Latest Homes and Wave - both free mags that 
cover the south east.  Hope you are all well and happy.  Still sad I 
missed your Big Party.  Love from all of us to all of you.  Pete.

I found the various perspectives of death interesting, but a little 
disappointed that the Christian element was the only religious 
influence remarked on. It is said that clothes maketh the man, but 
we are, I believe, clothed only in our humanity, and the colour and 
texture of that cloth is determined by the quality of the life we 
have lived and the legacy of love we leave behind. 

What a talented big sister I have!  Beautiful and sexy, too.  Love 
the recycling theme, sis, even if a tad morbid.  Don't go donating 
any of your organs too soon, and definitely not before you have 
completed your will making me sole beneficiary.  And remember to 
take out extra life insurance in the meantime.  
Love always, Little Brother.

I've never been to an exhibition that was filled with so much emotion.
I know I was overwelmed & overcome with emotion to the point of 
having to leave to 'collect myself'. The exhibitors shared their 
innermost feelings in words & interpretation. The notes that, some of 
the exhibitors, have shared on this website I feel priveledged that 
they have allowed me into thier deepest thoughts & feelings.
I applaud all the students & exhibitors of the Experimental Textile 
group for their depth of interpretation & the quality of their work.
I wish all of you well in your future projects & adventures.
Please don't forget to let me know when you are exhibiting again.
Congratulations & Thank you.

I attended the exhibition early this afternoon and was very surprised 
to enter a light, airy space filled with music, laughter, colour, 
vibrant textile 'works' and a general air of conviviality - not at 
all what I expected!  I had anticipated 'darkness' and 'a sombre 
mood' if not in design, in colour.  How wrong can one be? The pieces 
of work on display all showed a great sense of human emotion, feeling 
and continuity and above all a great sense of celebration.  I was 
very glad I had visited - I look forward to the next exhibition.  
Well done to all who participated!  

Good luck with your exhibition. I think it's going to be wonderful!
