You can now see Winged Insect - one of the larger sisal textiles made by Tadek Beutlich while he was living at Gospels, the former home of Ethel Mairet in Ditchling. It is impressive with its 3.5m wing span- on display at the Enterprise Centre next to Eastbourne Mainline Railway Station.

Last chance to see the smaller Tadek Beutlich textiles at Fibre Fest 2018 in Eastbourne today and the not so small Winged Insect. Open 10-4pm. Eastbourne is at its best in this beautiful sunshine

Lovely hand machine embroidered blanket at Fibre Fest by Claire Buckley incorporating upcycled jewellery, mirrors, keys, washers.. to magical effect!

A slight lunchtime lull after a frantically busy morning is very welcome! Lots of visitors at Fibre Fest today and still another day to go. It’s wonderful to meet so many who have travelled here specially to see Tadek’s textiles. Two elderly ladies who had not heard of Tadek were pondering whether a small demo piece of twined grass wrapped with wool (for sale at £90) would be just what she needs to mend her broken bag handle .. I said there might be more economic ways to fix it but I think Tadek would have loved the idea! His ethos was to use what’s readily available, such as the esparto grass outside his door in Spain

A couple tips for any one travelling to Fibre Fest this weekend at the Enterprise Centre: it is right next to the main line station in Eastbourne and there is free parking all day Sunday in the Enterprise Centre car park. See you there!

Winged Insect by Tadek Beutlich (woven in his Gospels studio, Ditchling 1970-74) is now airborne and will be hovering over Fibre Fest at the Enterprise Centre in Eastbourne all this weekend
