As promised, we are going to let the community have the chance to see our completed work so far and some of it will be on show for the first time. We will have a display at 'The Bothy' in Bellfield from Saturday 19th September till Sunday 27th September. 'The Bothy' is the small building as you come down Dee Street from the traffic lights and turn left into the Bellfield car park. On display will be all panels stitched so far with particular highlights being our latest art work of farm and garden verticals and the four seasonal Silver Birch trees in all their glory. Pictured is the Summer vertical. We are also hoping to have the stitched Christmas vertical complete. On sale will be our popular cards and book marks with their beautiful tapestry designs and some newly released book marks reflecting autumn motifs.
The opening hours will be 10am-4pm on Saturday 19th which is The Farmer's Market day.
All other days we'll be open from 11am-4pm. There will be the opportunity to sign up to our Banchory Tapestry Circle where you can hear updates about the tapestry and future workshops. Please drop in if you can !
