The Shrewsbury Drapers, a long-established Shrewsbury guild and charitable group, have been inviting handy-crafters to exhibit their work as part of their annual textile competition.
Entrants were asked to create a piece, including clothing and wall hangings, on this year's theme of 'The Four Seasons'.
The exhibition is currently taking place in the Darwin Room of Shrewsbury Library and will be on public display until Saturday, November 25. It features dozens of submissions from entrants of all ages, from school children to adults.
The exhibits were going under the judge's scrutiny on Tuesday, after which awards were presented for works in several categories, including the Youth Textile Design competition for school children from Key Stage 3 and 4 and sixth form and college students.
The Shrewsbury Drapers is a voluntary organisation which gained its Royal Charter in 1462. It has been running almshouses in Shropshire since 1444. Today, it provides 51 houses on five sites for older people.
The annual textile competition - which is this year sponsored by Tweedmil Textiles Ltd and The Worshipful Company of Woolmen, reflects the Drapers' origins, encouraging public interest in textiles.
