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

Material Matters Exhibition FlyerA 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.

Supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland.
