Join us for a celebratory launch of this creative textile-themed project led by artist Holly Graham at the 422 Cafe!

‘THREADS’ is the outcome of a series of creative workshops titled ‘Textiles and Tall Tales’, led by artist Holly Graham as part of our 422 Community Archive project. Working with block-printing, patchwork stitching and oral history interviewing; the project aimed to gather reflections by local people on Manchester’s textile history, individuals’ relationships to cloth, and methods of print design, and to consider links between fabric, industry, empire, and local memory. We will exhibit new work developed collaboratively over these workshop sessions in the form of wall-based textile artworks and oral histories for 422 Arts new digital community archive. Attendees will have a chance to try their hand at their own patchwork swatch to take away, and refreshments will be provided.
