Spring exhibition
Threaded Landscapes by Nicola Harper
15 February - 4 May 2025
Nicola Harper is a textile artist based in York. Her work reflects a love of both the clean lines of architecture and the organic forms of landscape and seascape.
Her pieces are a layering of mainly recycled, texturally interesting fabrics, yarns and thread.
Using a combination of techniques including free motion machine embroidery, appliqué and painting with acrylics, each piece blends both colours and textures together to create an embellished and sculpted piece.
Nicola takes inspiration for her pieces from her urban, rural and natural surroundings of her home in North Yorkshire. She is a member of York Textile Artists and the Society for Embroidered Work.
Community Gallery
The Community Gallery is a space created to support local makers and artists, and for their work to be enjoyed by all. Drop by every six weeks to see a changing selection of artists, and for the chance to discover your next favourite piece.
The gallery is on the top floor at Nunnington, alongside the main seasonal exhibition.
