OTT - The 02 Textile Group
In 2002, twelve students who, under the tutelage of Ann Brown, had studied City & Guilds Creative Embroidery, formed OTT (02Textiles) . The aims of the group are to support each other in the personal development of their embroidery and textile art skills, to promote embroidery, and to form an exhibiting group.
In the autumn of 2004, OTT held their first exhibition in the art gallery of the Braintree Town Hall. The exhibition was a great success and was extremely well received by all who attended it.
Since then the group has continued to work on new projects and has been invited to display its work in other local galleries, returning to Braintree for another highly successful exhibition in the Autumn of 2006 and 2008.
In February 2007, OTT was invited to exhibit at the Cottenham "Textiles in Focus" event and displayed work in other locations through 2007 and beyond.
There have been four changes to the membership of the group. Norah Stocker left the group as her circumstances had changed, and Janet McKee, who had joined the group soon after it was set up, left the group in late 2006 and runs workshops from her home in Braintree.
Rita Johnson and Tabatha Mitchel-Simons joined the group after OTT's 2008 exhibition in Braintree, and, in January 2010, Elizabeth Taylor is the most recent member to join.

Irene Martin
It is with great sadness that we have to
announce the death of Irene Martin,
one of our founder members.
We will all miss Irene so much, not only
for herself, but also for the considerable
contribution she made to our group with her
beautiful work.
OTT will be so much the poorer for her loss. |
