Saturday 16 April to Sunday 22 May, Wallner Gallery, University Park. Admission free.

Once considered a ‘feminine craft’ and an acceptable way for women to pass their time, stitch has evolved into a viable artistic medium. This exhibition includes work by artist-in-residence Kashif Nadim Chaudry, Joy Buttress, Louise Frances Evans and Jo Pond. On Thursday 14 April,  at 7pm, there is a preview of the exhibition and a chance to meet the artist. Visit www.lakesidearts.org.uk or call the box office on 0115 846 7777 for book a place.
