NO RULES TEXTILES SOCIETY
16th Jan - 06TH Mar 2027
This exhibition brings together work by members of No Rules Textile Society who push the boundaries of what textiles can be and what textiles can become.
Expect to see fabric transformed into sculpture, contemporary art, quilts, installations and garments, alongside work that refuses to fit neatly into any category.
Traditional techniques are mixed up and reimagined in unexpected ways. Come and explore what happens when artists give themselves permission to experiment, take risks, cross-pollinate and break the rules.
A group exhibition. Curated and produced by Jayne Emerson
NO RULES TEXTILES - a 5-WEEK COURSE
