Events

As winter moves into spring we begin to feel and see the northern hemisphere reawakening. It’s a time for us all to enjoy new life, new opportunities and the repeating of life cycles. It’s a time to watch those small, miraculous transitions of nature as the world unfurls and moves we humans from one new moment in time to the next.

The International Textile Exhibition is back with fifteen different countries being represented. Avant Garde is the theme for the work entered into the competition from internationally renowned textiles artists. This exhibition features the 30 finalists from all over the world working in many different styles and creative techniques. Farfield Mill is the only UK venue part of this exciting international 10-month touring exhibition featuring galleries, museums and quilting events around the world.

Rachel Morrell, painter and textile artist, and Walter Lewis, photographer, explore the contrast between the industrial heritage of the Leeds Canal Basin in the 1800’s and today’s regeneration as a Northern technical and financial hub. Their collaboration is a contemporary representation of the changes in its culture and use.
