Following the Thread

Date: From Saturday 12 October to Saturday 9 November

This is the first exhibition of new work by Quilt Art since the pandemic caused a four-year gap in their exhibition programme. The exhibition celebrates how creative and different the artists are. What brings them together is their love for fabric and sewing, and the many ways they can express themselves using textiles.
