The Whitworth hosted the first inaugural meeting of the Textile Society in 1982. It is wonderful for the Society to come full circle and be able to offer this special opportunity as part of the Society’s 40th Anniversary celebrations.
This bespoke event will begin with an exhibition tour of Althea McNish: Colour is Mine with co-curator Rose Sinclair (Lecturer in Design Education at Goldsmiths, University of London). There will be time for discussion/questions with Rose at the end of the tour.
The exhibition tour will be followed by the opportunity for two small groups to visit the Whitworth’s Study Centre. Attendees will be able to examine, close up, a specially curated selection of highlights from the Whitworth’s outstanding textiles collection.
Access to the public galleries and cafe will be available between sessions. (Please note: refreshments are available but are not included in the ticket price).
