Conferences and Exhibition

Saturday's Conference was an enjoyable event, I will shortly be posting photos from the day onto the ERTF website.  The Members Shop, Cornucopia, also provided the chance not only to buy but also to see the range of textile skills and interests our Members have.
Our next Conference is in planning, those of you who are eagle eyed may well have spotted that the title has already been added on the righthand menu, and onto the home page of the website: "Marketing Your Artwork".
Further information and ticket details will be made known as soon as possible, so do keep checking back.  Please mark those new 2013 diaries with the date 20th April 2013, Girton College, Cambridge.  The Conference is open to Members and Non Members, we look forward to you joining us.

The next jury selected Exhibition "Eastern Images" is in planning for 2014, again headline details can be found on this blog in the righthand menu, and on the home page of the website.  I will also shortly be adding up to date information on this event to the website, as announced at the Conference.  The full information for the Exhibition criteria, dates, deadlines, costs etc are due to be announced at the April 2013 Conference.  However, you can start designing and making right now.  Any questions on the Exhibition, please email:  exhibitions1@ertf.org.uk
Reminder please, that this is a Members Only Exhibition,  however, we very much welcome you to join us as Members, and to join in the exhibition process.  New Membership is required at or by 20th April 2013 (through to end of March 2014) in order to participate in the selection process.  If you have any questions on Membership please email:  membership1@ertf.org.uk

Our own ERTF Member, Jenny Leslie,  has work in this Exhibition.  Please click on the poster for further information, to see links.

Autumn newsletter

The autumn edition of the ERTF newsletter 2012 is now available to view by members.  In it you will find plenty of reviews of exhibitions, plus information about up and coming events and information from the committee.  For those of you who want more information about the speakers at the November conference I have added links but hopefully by the time you read this you will have already received your ticket as the deadline is only days away (1st November).  I have also included a copy of the updated programme for the World Textiles conference, even though it is also available on the website.

Hopefully by the time of the next newsletter I will be able to give a review of how the conference went plus much more information about what is happening in the group.

Members can send articles and reviews at any time (dates and details in the newsletter) and I am even happy to type them up if you send them (legibly) by hand; as long as they are in good time for the deadline (mid-January).  Even if you have just snippets of information on exhibitions you have seen or are coming up let me know - or bring them along to the conference and I'll see you there.  Janette

Owen Jones Exhibition Dates

The final Exhibition of the tour of ERTF Owen Jones inspired work is about to open

 20th October - 9th December 2012

Peterborough Museum, Priestgate, Peterborough, PE1 1LF

Opening times:

Tues-Sat 10am/5pm

Sun 12noon/4pm

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the ERTF the exhibition will be closing earlier than originally notified.  So please be aware of the new end date of 9th December 2012.  Sadly circumstances mean that we are also unable to offer the Workshops we had planned, again this is due to external circumstances.

However, do please take the opportunity for this last look at the Exhibition, which includes final art pieces alongside sketchbooks showing ideas and working processes.

See the Owen Jones page on the website for more information.
