Description
Exhibitions at the Saint Aubin sur Mer Flax Festival:
- Association Culturelle et Créative de Touffreville-sur-Eu - A l'Eglise - "365 jours, Brodeuses au fil du temps" (365 days, embroiderers over time)
When popular sayings come to life through needle and thread, an exhibition of counted-stitch embroidery
by the Association Culturelle et Créative de Touffreville-sur-Eu. When quotations comment on a whole year of embroidery!
- Embroidery Competition - Church
Between Heaven and Earth, a vast space opens up for you to embroider whatever pleases you, using cross-stitch but also all sorts of other fancy stitches embellished with amusing or refined details to suit your imagination. Birds, insects, objects, flying machines, you'll capture snapshots of life where you know something intense is happening, but can't define it: an emotion, a movement?
Let yourself be transported between the attentive observation of a scene, listening to a bird?s song, a magnificent flight;
fleeting encounters? And dream. Keep a trace of these precious seconds, forgetting any artifact that might cloud the memory. It's not so much the object that interests us as the atmosphere it exudes or the sensations it evokes. The threads of your embroidery will fix on the linen canvas these stopped times, the time of a season, the time of a cloud, the time of an emotion, the time of a moment of life in the atmosphere.
- Agnès and her embroidery friends - Eglise
The art of using a needle to apply ornamental motifs to a fabric or other support, using cotton, linen or silk threads. Cross stitch uses a single stitch, while embroidery uses many different stitches.
On your way, stop off at the church in Saint-Aubin-Sur-Mer to discover or learn about the different types of stitch: stem, back, post or thorn, chain, knot. The most important thing is to enjoy creating.
- Permanent embroidery workshop for all generations, free with exhibition ticket
