Exhibition Launch: Material Matters – Sharing Stories of Sewing
Thursday, 3rd March, 2016, 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Free
Exhibition Launch of Material Matters, a project which involved people of different ages and cultures in the creation of sewn wall hangings inspired by each person’s emotional attachment to a textile that has a story to tell: a grandmother’s quilt, a child’s dungarees, a Palestinian embroidery, a wedding dress.
Through workshops in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee, Material Matters explores the fabric of peoples’ lives in an imaginative way.
Show and Share Launch on Thursday 3rd March from 2pm to 4pm
A special Show and Share launch invites you to bring along a textile that is precious and tell its story. Or, if you just love sewing, come along to hear other people talking about a textile that matters to them.
Following this launch event the exhibition of these sewn wall hangings will be on display at Glasgow Women’s Library from 3rd to 15th March.
Supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland.
