Fact & Fabrication - The exhibition launch

We had an amazing turnout at our Fact & Fabrication Exhibition in the Orangery in October. The researchers spoke about the stories they had uncovered and Sarah our musician, played the Shuttle to Clog composition.
It was a great start to our exhibition tour.

  

Fact & Fabrication - Summer Sessions

We delivered a number of sessions over the summer with adult groups to create the installation for our HLF project Fact & Fabrication.
We worked at Belper, Cromford and Derby, delivering a range of textile workshops, indigo dyeing, block printing, shibori, embroidery, & sewing.

Meeting in the Book Cafe to start the project

Fact and Fabrication is a Heritage Lottery Funded project, researching the communities along the Derwent Valley and using the information to create a textile installation for an exhibition in the mills and local venues.

We spent a few months researching the project since March and now we are working on the textile installation and information banners that will accompany the exhibition.
