The Exeter Womens Network Art Group



























This weekend See's an exhibition of art made by the Women's Network Art Group in Exeter who have been working with Wolf and Water Art Company over the past few years to create art from a variety of workshops. The work will be exhibited tomorrow at The Exeter Phoenix Exeter Devon from 1.30-5pm
The International Women's Arts Program worked with the women in the group this year for International Women's Day and we created some beautiful quilts following in the tradition of the Quilt Project using some personal fabrics and designs that came from each women's personal life experience's and narratives, which we shared through conversation and visual metaphor in the stitched pieces.
This was the third year we have worked together for International Women's Day and many of the women were a part of the IWA Sewing for Peace Project.
The group will now take a break for a while untill future funding can hopefully be established.
We would like to offer the women best wishes for the future.
