Brunel Broderers - Susi Bancroft - February 2015

Our speaker this month was Susi Bancroft from Brunel Broderers.  Susi brought along  Liz Hewitt,  Kay Swancutt and new to the group, Julie Heaton.  She started her talk by explaining Brunel Broderers were celebrating their 25th anniversary this year.  In 1990 at the end of a City & Guilds course nine students decided to get together to organise exhibitions and raise the profile of textile work.  The group meet once a month and is limited to around 12 members who are drawn from the South West including Bath, Cirencester and Stroud with the aim of creating a diverse range of work and giving each other constructive criticism.
