‘Endangered Species of Devon’ – Embroidery exhibition

Monday 15-Sunday 28 May 2023: ‘Endangered Species of Devon’ – South Devon Stitchers Embroidery exhibition in the Hub at the Old School Community Centre open Monday-Friday 9.30-12.30 or by appointment.

Following on from the great reception of the Loving Earth exhibition, SSB is thrilled to be displaying work by South Devon Stitchers, formerly an embroiderers guild branch but during covid became and independent group.  There are about 20 stitchers, of all ages and abilities, with a wide range of textile skills and experience.

This was a community project begun during lockdown, with 3 panels that depict endangered species of South Devon.

The panels were on display in Torre Abbey last summer, and again at Westpoint ‘Craft 4 Crafters’ in March this year with the whole idea being to raise awareness about our endangered species and for people to see the panels and learn about the local flora and fauna.
