All the works in this exhibition have been inspired by Nantwich which together with the surrounding area has acted as a valuable catalyst for the development and realisation of individual ideas.

In direct response,Threadmill have created a feast of intricately stitched textile pieces which reflect the town's rich social and industrial history. Alongside reference to a range of iconic buildings, impressions of local flora and fauna are represented along with the rich colours and textures derived from the use of nature’s raw materials. Personal inspiration has taken the group along traditional approaches to textile art intertwined with the innovative and experimental, encompassing and depicting the local area in all its many facets.

The techniques used are innovative and varied, including hand and machine stitching, painting, printing, dyeing, felting, collage and mixed media.
