TEXTILE artist collective, the 62 Group, is returning to Sunny Bank Mills Gallery in Farsley with a new exhibition called Tailored.

Tailored celebrates textiles and their place in the local community and economy as part of marking  10 years of arts and culture at Sunny Bank Mills.

The exhibition starts on Saturday, May 13 and runs until July 2.

Jane Kay, creative director at Sunny Bank Mills, said: “The exceptional work in Tailored explores the multiple meanings of the word itself and what it means to the artists themselves.

“This exhibition is particularly relevant to Sunny Bank as Tailored is a word we most associate with suits – and suits were the most common use of the cloth at the mill. The depth and breadth of textile art as a medium in this exhibition is astonishing.”

Tailored features the work of 32 artists with techniques include stitch, knit, casting, drawing and film, sculpture and installation.

Hannah Lamb of the 62 Group added that she was fascinated by the heritage of Sunny Bank Mills and its strong connection to the local textile industry.

“This, of course, makes it an ideal venue for a textile-themed exhibition, which can draw on the themes around textile manufacturing and also the broader Leeds industries around tailoring and garment production.”
