62 Group: Making as Learning
2024 marks 62 years of the 62 Group, which was founded in 1962 with the aims of ‘championing the role of textiles in art’. The group will be celebrating their 62nd birthday year with their upcoming exhibition, Making as Learning, set to take place in the iconic Salts Mill in Bradford. This exhibition will celebrate the enduring legacy of former 62 Group member Audrey Walker, both an educator and artist, whose influence continues to inspire the textile arts community.

The theme, Making as Learning, invites artists to reflect on their creative processes, drawing inspiration from their personal archives—be it notes, samples, yarn wraps, dye recipes, film stills, journals, or sketchbooks. This exhibition explores the tangible and intangible qualities of the making process, questioning what can be learned from our methods as they evolve or disintegrate over time.
