The Valletta Waterfront is set host to an exhibition of cross-stitch, ganutell, flower arrangements and hats created by the Stitch in Time Club, Maria Cordina and Maria Kerr. The exhibition, entitled Harmony in Art, will see stitched items being displayed in various categories as well as an impressive selection of hand-made flowers.
Organised by the Malta Horticultural Society, it will be inaugurated by Gemma Mifsud Bonnici. All donations at the door will go towards the Community Chest Fund.
The Stitch In Time Club, founded in 1998, now has some 70 members. The club frequently organises exhibitions of stitched items for various charities including Wishing Others Well (WOW), Dar Merhba Bik and the Eden Foundation.
The hand-stitched items include picture frames, clocks, quilts, Christmas stockings, runners, towels and more. This exhibition will be sponsored by John C. Vella of Constitution Street, Mosta and the Valletta Waterfront.
Maria Cordina is renowned for her floral art and is a member on the committee of The Malta Horticultural Society. Her exhibits at the Harmony in Art exhibition under the title “Fit for a Wedding” will include an array of hats made of coloured dry plant material.
This floral theme will be complemented by the ganutell of Maria Kerr, who began flower- arranging at a young age before moving on to become one of the most renowned creators of artificial flowers.
“In just five months, Valletta Waterfront has hosted an impressive variety of events and has established itself as a firm favourite among those who wish to exhibit their talents as well as those looking for a different experience,” said VISET plc Chief Executive Officer Chris Falzon.
He continued: “Activities will continue throughout the winter months with the Harmony in Art exhibition being just one of the highlights in November,” he said.
The exhibition will run from today to Sunday 13 November in Vaults 15 and 16, Upper Floors at the Valletta Waterfront. Opening times are 10am till 2pm from Monday to Sunday and 10am till 7.30pm on Saturday.
