This exhibition by the contemporary textile collective seam explores the visibility and invisibility of thread.

Thread, as cloth, is woven through our lives. It surrounds us like a second skin. Precisely because of these close connections, it becomes almost invisible to us.

A Visible THREAD aims to encourage viewers to rethink their relationship to thread, be aware of its materiality, its sustainability, its possibilities, and its limitations. Through a diverse range of textile disciplines and perspectives, this exhibition brings work from 15 seam artists together to stimulate thought, connection, and conversation.

Look out for coordinating programme of talks, workshops and demonstrations.

Please join us for the opening event on Saturday 20 July and enjoy makers demos throughout the day.
