FOUR textile crafters will share the feature slot at Lowes Court Gallery in October.

The gallery is located on Egremont main street and features the work of local artists every month. 

A spokesperson said: "Sheila Moffat, widely known for her hand-crated tweed shoulder bags, has also been making items of crocheted clothing, knitted cowls and Christmas wall hangings.

"Specific items include Advent calendars, coloured scarves, a crocheted jacket and waistcoat with bag to match, and even a denim Rudolph for your Christmas décor!

"Ruth Moore from ‘Felted and Fleece’ has included plenty of Herdwick sheep – on driftwood hangings, framed pictures, and as autumn and Christmas baubles.

"Alongside the happy Herdwicks, she includes a variety of chirpy seasonal robins.

"Kim from ‘Lakes Leather Studio’ shows some stunning leather bags and purses. Her purses, in both leather and suede, are decorated with flowers, sheep, and dogs.

"Kim’s soft yet chunky travel bags are perfect for slipping over the body of a camera or phone for security.

"Sue Cosham creates pictures from machine embroidered fabrics, hand finished with the addition of beadwork and details in embroidery.

"Her work captures the light and textures of the lakes and coast in all seasons."
