Events – Worcester Cathedral Christmas Tree Festival 2022
Other projects:
Threads – Worcester Stitch and Textile Art Group, is once again taking part in the cathedral’s annual Christmas Tree Festival. Members were asked to help make our tree brightly coloured by decorating balls to show off their stitching and by adding glitz to catch the light in the cloisters!
As may be seen in the accompanying photographs, members came up with lots of ways to do this by …
making Temari balls (a Japanese “hand ball), using threads to create decorative bands and areas of stitching
using felt to cover the ball and decorating it with simple surface stitching and beads
using fabric to fit around the ball and adding ribbon and a hanging loop
pleating fabric such as gingham and then smocking it
being imaginative and coming up with some novel ideas!
The Festival is open from Wednesday 7 December 2022 until Sunday 8 January 2023 (but not on Christmas Day) from 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. from Monday to Saturday and from 1.00 p.m. to 3.00 p.m. on Sundays. Unlike last year, booking is not necessary so why not go along and have a look? We are sure that you will be amazed by the creativity on display, not only on our tree but on all the other trees you will find there!
