Chok: Uzbek Architecture in Needlepoint by Natalie Fisher. Cover designed by Pro Bono Publico

Come and enjoy a celebration of the launch of Natalie Fisher’s new coffee table book Chok: Uzbek Architecture in Needlepoint. In her book, Natalie takes you to nine significant sites in Uzbekistan, illustrating her creative process of interpreting decorative ceramic tiles into needlepoint art. She also features the Silk Inroads project, in which more than 60 locals from Wagga Wagga participated in a community needlepoint project in 2022, drawing on decorative tiles from Uzbekistan, Iran, Afghanistan and India. 

Natalie will be in conversation with Sam Bowker to explore her creative journey. You can also see her latest needlepoint works on exhibition for one night only. 

If you’re interested in photography, textile arts, Islamic art, architecture or travel, this evening is for you!
