On 20th October, as well as showing Paul Dingley's exciting mixed media work in the old horsebox, we plan to link in with National Wool Week, and celebrate our local industrial and cultural heritage, by producing an installation or work of art made by YOU, the visitors to the exhibition!
Please bring scraps of fabric, wool and other fibres suitable for gluing, weaving, knitting etc and be willing to help out create something really exciting! We are based in the rural hills where sheep have grazed for centuries, and the local valleys, in Cam, Dursley and Stroud and Nailsworth spun fibres, wove and produced the cloth that was shipped all round the world. We want to celebrate that heritage, and what better way than through a community event?
If you bring some knitting or crochet you're working on, you'll also get a free cup of tea!
(but bring money to buy some scrummy cake to eat with it!!!!)
Please tell your friends about this project, ans we need lots of contributers to make it really worthwhile.
See you on 20th!
