Whole:Hole – an exhibition by local artist Anne Brooke

'I have a love of stitch and sharing this passion with others, previously through teaching workshops. But during lockdown I began sharing projects online and it has been heart warming how many people, from all over the world, joined in'

Anne is a local artist working Brighouse and this is the first time her embroideries have gone on exhibition. The exhibition opens on the 25th May 2024 at Calder Art Studio in Huddersfield and runs throughout May and June.

This exhbition is of Anne's current work based on the principle of the 'Whole' self and 'Holes' that appear in everyday life and how we mend and heal them over time.

Continuing to share this community idea of stitch, visitors can also book a place to stitching the studio, be that their own work or to add to the table cloth Anne is creating during the exhibition istself.

'the idea behind this goes back to my childhood and memories of my mum and ladies from the village sitting around our kitchen table drinking coffee, chatting and stitching a piece for the local church. Little did I know wthat I would be doing the same thing 45 years later'
