Fabric of the North brings together works by members of the British Tapestry Group, in a range of styles and techniques, large and small, with a single theme: our Northern heritage. ​​The exhibition will open soon at Kirkleatham Museum, a magnificent Queen Anne building near Redcar. Kirkleatham is home to a treasure trove of artefacts and exhibitions, covering local industrial, maritime and social history. Visitors can also enjoy the beautiful grounds, with woodland trails and activities for younger visitors.

Exhibitors range from professional artists to relative novices. Visitors will discover an art form which can be enjoyed at all levels by anyone, whether working on the loom, admiring a hanging on display, or buying a work to enjoy at home. Visitors of all ages can enjoy demonstrations and videos. Weaving materials and equipment are available for sale from one of Weaversbazaar's famous pop-up shops. If you have an interest in weaving you need to be at Fabric of the North.​

The Museum is expected to open 10-5, Tuesday to Sunday, with last entry at 4pm. Entry is free, though booking will be required. Admission details will be posted here as soon as available.
