Exploring Textiles: A celebration of past and contemporary uses, from functional to decorative
Tuesday 6 May – 31 August 08
This original exhibition seeks to make a bridge between past and present, and to show the extremely varied techniques which have evolved in recent years. A cross-over between modern and traditional uses, the Show begins with 19th century lace work on clothing and Edwardian embroidery, and concludes with adventurous contemporary installations. Two-dimensional works like tapestry and large hangings of silk painting or embroidery, framed embroidered and mixed media pictures, contrast with three dimensional, sculptural pieces using synthetic fibres, silk or solid materials like plaster and marble, mimicking the folds of fabric. All contemporary artists are based in Norfolk, antiques are family heirlooms.
There are pieces for every taste, from traditional to experimental, much to learn for anyone interested in making things, and matter for discussion.
