A NEW exhibition exploring the creative power of 'unmaking' runs in Stroud until Sunday, November 8.
The Textile Study Group (TSG) has returned to the town with its first collective show since 2017, presenting UNmaking at the Museum in the Park.
The exhibition invites visitors to explore deconstruction, transformation and rediscovery through contemporary textile works.
Each piece reflects the idea of unmaking not just as dismantling, but as a process of reimagining and creating something new through unravelling, cutting and reworking.
It also prompts visitors to question when something in transition might be considered complete and how the act of unmaking shapes our understanding of art.
Kevin Ward, development manager at the Museum in the Park, said: "UNmaking offers visitors a fascinating opportunity to experience contemporary textile art in a fresh and thought-provoking way.
"The exhibition challenges us to look differently at creativity, while the accompanying programme of workshops and meet the maker events gives people the chance to learn new skills and engage directly with leading textile artists.
"We're delighted to welcome the Textile Study Group back to Stroud for their first collective exhibition here in almost a decade."
The show is accompanied by a programme of workshops led by internationally renowned tutors, as well as free meet the maker sessions.
These events offer opportunities for visitors to learn new techniques, gain insight into contemporary textile practice, and meet some of the artists involved.
The exhibition is free to enter.
Further details, including information on workshops and opening times, are available on the Museum in the Park website.
The Museum in the Park is managed by Stroud District Council in collaboration with the Stroud District (Cowle) Museum Trust.
It houses a significant collection of local history, a walled garden and a dedicated contemporary exhibition space.
The museum offers a free membership scheme, which provides members with updates on exhibitions and events, as well as exclusive behind-the-scenes content.
