Entries are now open for our next group exhibition – Thread – tangles / detangles. Despite an upsurge in interest in craft and making, textiles are still almost invisible in the world of art.

The collective believe that by communicating and sharing their passion for textiles, they will highlight the versatility of the medium and promote interest in art created using a combination of traditional and contemporary techniques.
