Upcoming Group Exhibition: Stitched & Bound

Stitched & Bound is a travelling contemporary textile exhibition presented by the West Australian Quilters Association Inc. (WAQA). Constantly evolving as it moves between venues, the exhibition showcases a dynamic selection of textile and fibre-based works that challenge traditional ideas of quilt-making through innovative materials, techniques, and conceptual approaches.

This exhibition invites viewers to explore the expressive potential of textiles – not just as functional objects, but as powerful carriers of memory, meaning, and narrative. Each work reflects a deep engagement with materiality and making, offering a tactile and visual dialogue that speaks to personal and collective stories.

Earlier in May, visiting textile artist Janeene Judge, also featured in the Stitched & Bound travelling exhibition, delivered a series of workshops at the Courthouse Gallery+Studio, offering insight into her creative process and connection to the exhibition.

Whether stitched, bound, layered, or dyed, the works in this exhibition invite reflection, connection, and curiosity – celebrating the rich possibilities of contemporary textile art.

Join us at the Courthouse Gallery+Studio this September to experience Stitched & Bound for yourself.
