British Tapestry Group, North of England Exhibition: Fabric of the North
In May 2020 Cromford Mills, the UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Derbyshire Peak District, was to have hosted a stunning exhibition: Fabric of the North.
The works woven for the exhibition by over 30 weavers can be previewed at https://www.fabricofthenorth.org/
Fitting their work to Cromford Mills, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, exhibitors focused on themes of industrial archaeology, social history and landscapes of Northern England. Long-established weavers, internationally acclaimed artists who generally work to commission, relative novices, and children (young carers and recently arrived refugee children from Iraq and Syria) all came together under the banner of Fabric of the North, to produce an amazing vision of Northern England.
