Founded in 2003, Diverse Threads is a textile art group comprising nine 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.

Our most recent exhibition 'Progressions' was at Goole Museum in 2009.  This exhibition showcased new work and also included a retrospective of our first five years of exhibiting as a group. Further images are included on our Exhibitions & Info page.
