SPOTLIGHT ON TEXTILES...
2017 is a bumper year for talented Textiles designers at The Contemporary Craft Festival with around 35 makers ready to exhibit their work for you to see. Come along and see the vast range of materials and techniques applied to make stunning clothing, gorgeous household items and furniture, as well as beautiful and bespoke accessories.
We're also really excited to be welcoming internationally renowned textile artist Dionne Swift who will be sharing her methods with us through demonstrations throughout the weekend.
