Sneak look at Jackie Brough's exhibits for Fashioned in Silk

Jackie working in her studio on one of the silk organza toiles for the exhibition. Jackie uses a soldering iron which is a favourite tool of hers in her textile art creations.

Two close ups of 2 separate toiles that will be in the exhibition. To see more details of her work go to www.textile21.co.uk or www.jackiebrough.co.uk

Only three and a half weeks to go before the private view on the 14th February.



NEW YEAR NEW EXHIBITION

A New Year and a new exhibition. Following closely on from our well received exhibition at Quarry Bank Mill, Styal we are almost ready for the installation at Macclesfield Silk Museum, 15th Feb until the 19th April.

FASHIONED IN SILK

This exhibition references the rich heritage that Macclesfield has in the history of silk in this country. The stunning installation's main focus is a display of dress toiles that have been embellished and decorated with skills and techniques that reflect members' individual practice.

 

 

Here is a sneak preview of a section of Margaret Steeden's dress entitled 'Effervescence'.
