🦋 Today is the final day of Metamorphosis.

Over the past months we have been privileged to share an extraordinary exhibition showcasing the creativity, skill and imagination of so many textile artists exploring the theme of transformation.

From intimate stitched stories to ambitious sculptural works, the exhibition has celebrated the endless possibilities of textiles and contemporary craft.

Thank you to every artist who entered, our shortlisted artists, judges Jan Beadle, Cas Holmes and Marie Wallin, and everyone who visited and voted for the People’s Choice Award.

If you haven’t seen it yet, this is your last chance.
