Hello
As I imagine you know, this will be the last exhibition at Windsor, and I am writing to you on behalf of the last HED Stitched Textiles year. We feel it will be the end of an era for everyone involved, tutors and students alike, and we want to make it an outstanding celebratory show.
We would like to include a display in the exhibition to showcase the ongoing contribution to textiles of all the HED graduates over the years. We are therefore inviting you and other ex students to participate in the display by sending us an electronic A4 size visual information sheet representing your current work, that we can print out as A3 sheets to wall mount and/or include in a portfolio folder. If you are working in a textile group, you may want to produce a few sheets covering the whole group’s work, or perhaps use exhibition flyers.
If you would like to participate in this display, or have any questions (or suggestions!) please will you reply to this e-mail, so we have an idea of numbers, and can contact you with further details as these are finalized.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Tamsin Johnston
Exhibition Chair
