Exhibition: Material Matters – Sharing Stories of Sewing

4th March, 2016 to 15th March, 2016

Material Matters Exhibition Flyer

Material Matters Exhibition FlyerThrough workshops in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee, Material Matters explores the fabric of peoples’ lives in an imaginative way. The project 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.

This exhibition of sewn wall hangings made during Material Matters will be on display at Glasgow Women’s Library from 3rd to 15th March during our regular opening hours.

Show and Share Launch on Thursday 3rd March from 2pm to 4pm
