About

Craft Show presents an exhibition of textile art alongside a joyful series of workshops and talks held in the heart of the gallery. Showcasing the work of celebrated and rising textile artists and makers, the curation explores the theme of textile construction and the weaving of stories and structures.

The exhibition explores the breadth of textiles, from printing and knitting to weaving and stitch. It showcases the work of 20 talented textile artists and makers with a strong storytelling element, using craft objects, floristry and exciting exhibition design to play with current themes in craft. Objects of craft often tell the stories of those whose voices have been quietened by the traditional art world, A Textile Assembly plays with that, showing work made locally and bringing well-known artists and makers to Peckham and South London.

A programme of hands-on workshops is hosted in the gallery space amongst the exhibition. From natural dye, embroidery, patchwork, weaving and knitting, the exhibition is alive with the hum of conversations and craftspeople sharing their skills.
