Art Through Textiles - Tuesday 31 July to Sunday 9 September
'Art Through Textiles' is a group of creative individuals with a strong professional interest in promoting and developing textiles as an art form. Members share a love of all textile skills as a means of creative expression and wish to show, through their work, just how rich, lively and versatile textiles can be.
This exhibition “Elements” shows the diverse nature of the work of the members and is a dynamic expression of textiles as an art form.
