Weave Only A Trace: Journey

November 18-30, 2025

Open daily 10am-4pm

Free entry

This exhibition will feature the work of 12 regional artist-makers showcasing the diverse range of uses and interpretations of willow, wood and natural fibres. There will be traditional and heritage baskets on show, alongside sculptural and contemporary pieces. Throughout the exhibition, there will be daily weaving demonstrations from our artist-makers and a pop-up shop where you can buy unique handcrafted items.

As part of the 'Journey' exhibition a range of creative workshops and events will be available to book online. Building on the popularity of last year's sessions - which included festive decoration making and basket weaving - this year's programme will offer more opportunities to explore traditional techniques and natural materials in an accessible, enjoyable way.

..Lynne Wixon - INDUSTRIAL

An Exhibition of Industrial Paintings

The exhibition is a celebration of Lynne’s 40 year career as a practicing painter.

The paintings reflect her fascination with all things engineered and her deep connection to the Industrial revolution.

Lynne was born in Wolverhampton and has lived most of her life in in Sheffield and North Yorkshire.


"I have a fascination with all things engineered. I explore the accidental aesthetics of the functional, and look for something other, something beautiful.  

I hope my paintings will cause someone to take a second look at the industrial, and see something new in it."

Lynne Wixon 2025
