Visit to the Parsonage Heritage Centre, Bedworth.

On Tuesday 1st November I visited the Parsonage Heritage Centre in Bedworth to see the Woven Threads exhibition in its new location. The exhibition is in the centre's new aquisition, the Nurse's House which originally belonged to the adjacent Almshouses. I met John and Linda Burton who have been fantastically supportive of my project and also work so hard to promote and preserve local heritage and history. They have acquired a Victorian weaving loom and a handmade replica of a traditional ribbon weaving loom which are displayed alongside my work. I am really happy with how my work looks in the space; the scale of my work seems to suit the size and historical nature of the room. I've added some photographs of the exhibition to the gallery section, although they don't convey the feeling of the venue in quite the same way as being there.
