We’ll be exploring SUNSETS and DELUGES with our Foundation students; moving on to impressive pieces of Intermediate student work, including some gorgeous garments, hangings and miniature felts.
Amazing advanced Textile panels and vessels will be on display alongside my own Never Spilling a Drop and a series of pieces about Looking Down. Kate Ryan will display pieces based on her caravan site. Not just images from the area but using the environment itself to create the colour on the cloth and thread.

It is preferable for everyone involved – local settled people, Gypsies and Travellers and the local authorities – for Appleby Horse Fair to happen on a set date. Had no date been set, there would be an increased likelihood of ad hoc gatherings which nobody would be prepared for.

Energy, Movement and Light
I’m passionate about the sea. Not a calm sea, however, but the energy of the sea with its movement and reaction to light. The sea never stays the same and the colours, shapes and patterns change from the palest turquoise to the deepest blue in seconds.
“The sea, once it’s cast its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever” Jacques Cousteau’

Now in its ninth year, the artisan market is well worth a visit along with the town’s cafes, shops, books and hills. The quality on offer is high and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

Italian Music and Dance Music from the Middle Ages – plus the first Medieval Music in the Dales Summer School

Italian Music and Dance Music from the Middle Ages – plus the first Medieval Music in the Dales Summer School

The landscape in which we live, meet and work is a northern landscape largely shaped by cloth. Distinctive weavers cottages line the canals and perch on hillsides, tall mill chimneys dominate the valleys. We meet in a grand and richly furnished manor house created by mill owners, exhibit and seek inspiration and materials at converted mills in Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria. Some of us have mill workers in our ancestry, weaving in our memories and in our blood.
