Second look: response, remade & experimental textiles

This is the third in the Second look exhibition series, where artists focus on remaking and experimenting. Here they make new works from existing textiles - old, found, gifted, scavenged, archived, repurposed – to give these materials a second life. Each artist brings their individual concerns or interests to the project, be it sustainability, wellbeing, repurposing, conserving materials or making do. Experimenting with materials is fundamental to their creative practise.

Artists: Boni Cairncross, Ro Cook, Nicole Ellis, Michele Elliot, Blake Griffiths, Beth Hatton, Vivien Haley, Cecilia Heffer, Chris Hutch, Brenda Livermore, Christina Newberry, Lisa Pang, Barbara Rogers, Jane Théau, Nina Walton, Liz Williamson, Melinda Young.

Organisers: Michele Elliot, Barbara Rogers, Liz Williamson, Melinda Young.

Exhibition Wednesday 2 October - Sunday 20 October, opening hours Wednesday – Sunday 11am - 5pm ; Exhibition Opening & Talk Saturday 5 October 3 – 6pm
