Textiles Group
Our Textiles Group (HTA) was formed in 2004 with the idea of bringing textile practitioners together to exchange ideas and knowledge, and to give each other support. The group meets monthly, alternating business meetings and social get-togethers/visits at different locations, mainly across Hertfordshire. HTA organises an active programme of exhibitions showcasing the work of its members who employ a wide range of textile art techniques, including textiles in combination with other media.
Our membership is a diverse group of artists with a wealth of backgrounds, many of whom exhibit locally and nationally with other textile and art organisations including Prism, The British Tapestry Group, The Eastern Region Textile Forum, The Wynd Gallery, and various Textile Guilds. We are an eclectic mix of career artists, gallery owners, hobbyists, and those who found textile art after successful careers in other fields.

Textile Tales is a fascinating exhibition of work by 14 members of the Herts Textile Art group (HTA), and introduces you to the range and variety of textile art and craft.
Displaying older pieces alongside new work, the group showcases examples of a host of different techniques – some traditional and some experimental/groundbreaking – which all demonstrate the members’ talent and passion for their craft.
In the exhibition you will see embroidered, printed, woven, and knitted pieces; articles in mixed media, or constructed from recycled materials; 2-D and 3-D work.
Come and explore the tales that these textiles tell – about their inspiration, creation, and construction.
