Ten Plus Textiles @ Ordsall Hall: a new exhibition
This exhibition showcases new work created by Ten Plus Textiles over the last year.
Based in the North West, Ten Plus are a group of 18 fully qualified textile artists who have recently celebrated 20 years of working with fibres and fabric to create contemporary textile art from a wide range of techniques.
Using fine hand and machine embroidery, patchwork, quilting and beadwork, weaving, collage and mixed media, their work includes framed pieces and hangings, 3D items, fashion accessories and jewellery, all of which will be featured at Ordsall Hall.
Ten Plus Textiles have been working with young people from North Salford Youth Centre to make sculptural creatures inspired by some of the textiles which will feature in the exhibition.
