About

Connected by Thread showcases the talents of students and tutors who work with textiles and other craft materials. Work on display has been created by learners on MAC’s 12-week creative courses and short courses, led by a talented team of artist tutors.
MAC’s textile courses offer a huge range of opportunities for learners to create, manipulate and decorate fabrics and textiles. From felting to willow weaving, embroidery to dressmaking, these courses are a unique way to create functional and decorative creative work. This exhibition coincidences with MAC’s showing of the Design Museum's touring exhibition The Offbeat Sari, a major exhibition celebrating the contemporary sari, to further celebrate textile as a form of creative expression.
A rare opportunity to see the talent of our participants and tutors on display.
MAC's exhibitions are generously supported by Arts Council England and players of People's Postcode Lottery.
