An inspiring and cultural morning was had by our Year 10 Textiles students, who recently visited the Penzance Exchange Gallery for a private viewing of their Social Fabric exhibition.

Social Fabric is an exhibition of textile-based art, presenting the work of contemporary female artists whose practices revalue old wisdoms and techniques using traditional textile skills with fresh perspectives.

The students considered how the pieces were made, having recently learnt many of the techniques used by the artists during their textiles lessons. The scale of the work was impressive, and the content created many thought provoking discussions about the concept of the work.
