In the Spring 2023 members of the guild spent several meetings studying and discussing the history of pockets. As part of that study, members were encouraged and challenged to make and embellish pockets based on a pattern which can be found here.
As usual, members began coming up with various creative ways to embellish the pocket and make it their own. The Silk Purse in West Vancouver was approached with a proposal to exhibit the results in an exhibit.
It’s finally time!! After much anticipation our Pick A Pocket show is finally installed at the Silk Purse in West Vancouver and ready to be viewed by the public. The exhibit will open October 16, 2024 with an artists’ reception taking place on Thursday the 17th, 5:00 pm till 7:00 pm. We welcome one and all to come and see the creativity of our North Shore Needle Arts Guild members. It would be wonderful to see you there.
