Source is our first exhibition in 2023 and is part of a programme of exhibitions and engagement that celebrates textiles and their place in the local community and economy.
About
Sunny Bank Mills produced high quality worsted cloth that was shipped worldwide, but it is rooted in Yorkshire and its landscape: water, hills, sheep, stone. The textile heritage of Yorkshire, the weaving of wool into cloth and the stories of the people who worked in the Mills is both our heritage and that of many West Yorkshire villages and it is this that we want to celebrate in 2023.
2023 is the 10th anniversary of the Gallery at Sunny Bank Mills, and we are celebrating that; our archive and the regeneration of the Mill; it’s industrial legacy as a weaver of fine worsted cloth and its future.
Featuring work from;
