Salamanca

The city of Salamanca is only a train
ride away from Madrid. It took about 2
and a half hours. It is a beautiful city,
full of historical buildings. The cathedral
is magnificent, and I particularly liked the
Art Nouveau Museum, Casa Lis.

Caversham Arts Trail 2016
Jane Greiner's hand stitched textile pieces will be shown at Venue 10. The pieces she has created are firstly monoprinted to create a textured background, then stamped using a wooden print block. Jane then stitches into them, by hand, using different textures of threads and add embellishments using a variety of fabric snippets, beads and buttons. Each piece is unique and individually created.
