Staffordshire St presents A Textile Assembly, curated by Craft Show: an exhibition of textiles and textile art opening as a part of London Craft Week’s official schedule. Showcasing the work of both
celebrated and emerging makers the exhibition will explore textile construction and the personal stories woven into their very fabric.

​

The act of making will be at the heart of the space, with a programme of hands-on workshops, drawing inspiration from the exhibition itself. From natural dye and embroidery to yarn art and quilting, the exhibition will be alive with the hum of conversations and craftspeople sharing their skills.

Participating artists:

​

 Alice Burnhope, Caitlin Hinshelwood, Danielle Green, Deborah Manson, Ferren Gipson, House of Quinn, Jacob Monk, Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck, Kimberley Cookey-Gam, Leily Mojdehi, Louisa Loakes, Merissa Hylton, Pamela Abad, Poppy Fuller Abbott, Samantha Russell , Sarabi Hawke, Tessa Silva, Tom Collison, Vicky Cowin, Woo Jin Joo
