The visit from Richard McVetis was a great evening which was not only fun but gave us a wonderful insight into his thinking and meticulous work.

His tiny, rhythmic stitches in black cotton on natural wool run around the corners of his 6 x 6 cm cubes creating a fascinating series of blocks entitled 'Units of Time'.

He inspired us all with his simplicity that conveys so many messages about our time and space as well as looking back to Fifteenth Century stitch.

Richard keeps it clear using a limited range of stitches being seed, dots and crosses. He shared his story with such enthusiasm and joy giving us a wonderful and inspirational evening. His highly professional work depicting the world around him with such skill and thought made us all want to look again at the use of lines, dots and crosses.
