SUMMARY:: ArtHouse SCA: Anne Stark\, A Life Full of Stitch
DESCRIPTION:ANNE STARK\n“A life full of Stitch”\n\nAnne Stark will be t
 aking over the SCA window display with her stitched textiles during March 
 to April as Southport Contemporary Arts selected Artist of the Month.  
 Anne’s passion for all things stitchery is not a recent obsession:  
 “I have stitched for as long as I can remember.  Embroidery kits as a 
 child\, and by the time I was sixteen\, I was making my own clothes.” E
 ven after marriage and raising a family\, Anne was reluctant to allow any 
 let up on her enthusiasm for the craft: “I stitched for all of us inclu
 ding furnishings for around the house.”\n\nWorking as an occupational th
 erapist left little time for pursuing her art\, but she was abIe to grab s
 ome valuable time from her busy schedule and started to study painting at 
 evening classes. \n\nNow retired\, Anne has a different attitude to her a
 rt: “On retirement\, I found I could stitch for fun and not necessity\,
  so I enrolled myself onto a City and Guilds course in Design and Creative
  Embroidery at The School of Stitched Textiles at Eccles Farm Needcraft Ce
 ntre in Ormskirk.”  Five years later in 2005\, Anne had successfully c
 ompleted part one and then eventually gained the Diploma two years later i
 n 2007.  Today she is still aiming to expand her understanding of design
  by further developing her knowledge and skill base: “Experimenting and
  working with different media is exciting and I always carry a camera wit
 h me as inspiration can strike at anytime!”  \n\nShe welcomes the chal
 lenge each new task brings: “The source of fresh work may be a recent i
 tem in the news\, something I have seen and probably photographed or from 
 the wish to work with in a particular way.  Perhaps even by dyeing or pa
 inting fabric or through using a digital image to provide an alternative b
 ackground.”\n\nAnne enjoys the motivation and encouragement of being par
 t of a group: “I enjoy my membership of Southport Contemporary Arts and
  the One Step On Textile Art Group.  Both provide me with a source of in
 spiration\, motivation and encouragement along with the added advantages o
 f opportunities to display and exhibit my work.”\n\nAlthough\, primarily
  a tactile crafter\, Anne also also paints in oils:  “Painting is a se
 condary activity\, but I find that knowledge learned in one area is often 
 transferable into another.”\n\nA selection of Anne’s stitched textiles
  can be viewed from 28th March – 2nd May at SCA/ArtHouse\, 65 Eastbank
  Street (Tues thro Fri 10.00 – 15.00 and Sat 11.00 – 16.00).\n\n \n\n
 If you’re looking for creativity in stitch don’t hesitate.
