Their common theme is the use of cloth and other fibres, used either for innovative mark making or as a surface for embroidery, Signature XI will present a visual dialogue, with the aim of dispelling and challenging the perception of textiles as purely craft and design, and promoting them as a valid and thought provoking art form, offering an insight into contemporary textile art relevant to today.

John is a retired Engineer who spent many years on the drawing board before moving into Management. Ten years or so before retiring at 72 he took up painting, something he has always wanted to do since he was young lad living in Accrington.  His chosen medium is watercolour, and his sketch books and photographs are the foundation for his finished paintings. John’s watercolour paintings and sketches are inspired by the beautiful landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, where he has both caved and ridden his endurance horses.

Decorum is a group five women artists who work in close collaboration – they formed the group in 2017 and continue to work in relation to textile ephemera. Their practice takes on many forms as they aim to convey traces of past lives through the observation of the present.

The International Textiles Exhibition returns with the winning quilts from the latest competition.
