‘Kaleidoscope’
Fibre craftsmanship in a colourful world
The Association of guilds of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers
17 April - 29 May 2010
The objectives of the Association are the preservation and improvement of the craftsmanship in hand weaving, spinning
and dyeing for the benefit of the public and the promotion of public education in such craftsmanship.
We are delighted to announce details of our National Exhibition to be held at Mansfield Museum
The title of the exhibition is ‘Kaleidoscope’ referring to ‘Fibre Craftsmanship in a Colourful World’,
with entries, in the main, based on this inspiration: think facets, reflections, symmetry – whether literally
or metaphorically – and especially colour. This exhibition will introduce some innovations in the selection
process with photographs of entries being submitted initially.
More information will follow over the coming months!
