Pull My Thread: Textiles For a Cool Planet
Pull My Thread (27 July - 22 September 2024), an exhibition highlighting sustainable textiles from Blue Patch, the UK’s sustainable business community, opens at Brantwood House, the historic home of John Ruskin in the Lake District.
This exhibition captures the creative spirit of the emerging green economy and embodies the ethos of Blue Patch’s network of sustainable businesses. Featuring couture, hand-weaving, upcycling, and bio-textiles, 23 makers and creatives will explore the relationship between sustainability and our new, green 'collaborative' economy.
