Dorothy Russell Quilt Artist. The Opening at Oriel Ynys Mon Totally Textiles 2010

The opening of the exhibition at Oriel Ynys Mon on Friday 12th November 2010 was a superb evening. The gallery had a festive air and it was fun to chat to lots of new people as well as old friends in this lovely exhibition space. Among the guests were the Marquis of Anglesey and Lady Anglesey with their grand-daughter who is studying textile design: their interest in ‘Watery Sunday’ and ‘Ghekko’ was delightful as I answered their questions about the techniques I had employed while making these two wall hangings. It was a most enjoyable evening. The exhibition is now ‘up and running’ and yesterday it was graced by a visit from Simon Calder, travel writer and TV presenter, who, while visiting Anglesey to address local tourism operatives in the Council Chamber, made time in his busy schedule to call in at Oriel Ynys Mon.
