Join a workshop alongside the Re-Tension: The Work of Holding exhibition, examining the power of textiles. The workshop showcases a variety of techniques used by the artists, including print, stitch weave and fibre manipulation, demonstrate the ways textiles can foster unique and imaginative perspectives. It holds a mirror to the significance of textiles in our society and how ubiquitous materials have the capacity to challenge and transform our thinking and evoke mood, place and memory. It asks the questions ... What holds? What pulls?
Like breathing, stitching is often unseen and unthought about, here the invisible is made visible again. In so doing Re-Tension investigates contemporary concerns of belonging, identity and sustainability at both a societal and personal level.
