Artists At Work
Like walking into an artist's studio, this area at the festival will give you an opportunity to see textile artists at work throughout the day, watch their methods and ask questions about their techniques. Bring along a notepad, take a seat and get your fill of creative ideas!
There are no bookings required. Not all artists will be at work all day - some will be teaching or appearing on stands and stage.
