Founded in 2003, Diverse Threads is a textile art group comprising ten members, all meeting regularly in York.  We are a self-motivated group commited to developing our own work under the guidance of Diane Bates, (former Senior Lecturer at Bradford College, now a freelance designer, artist and tutor).

We all have a lifelong interest in embroidery and most of us have undertaken some form of design or embroidery studies.  We all have very different styles, hence the name, but find that meeting with Diane and working together helps the creative process and provides feedback and
support.

For more details about us, see our 'Exhibitions and Info' page and individual members' pages using the links on the left.

You can contact us by email admin@diverse-threads.co.uk or by using other contact details on our individual pages.

Our most recent exhibition was at Fashion, Embroidery & Stitch in Harrogate in 2008.  New work was included, continuing the theme of Elements.
