For the November 2008 meeting we were treated to a visual feast by local textile artist, Nikki Parmenter. Nikki's work arrived wrapped up as it had recently been exhibited at Salford Art Gallery. As she unwrapped the pieces we gasped in amazement at the rich texture, jewel-like colours and sheer scale of some of the pieces.
Her work is inspired by the jewel-like colours of India and each of her pieces is backed up a detailed research on the subject so is educational as well as decorative. As well as producing all this gorgeous work Nikki also teaches art at a North West School- we all wondered were she found the time!!!
