The Tamworth Textile Triennial Exhibition, titled Sensorial Loop, features the work of 22 creative textile artists whose skills include resist printed textiles, hand embroidered cross-stitch, machine knitted metal sculptures, cloth woven on a jacquard bloom and much more.
The exhibition showcases the changing ideas and professional craftsmanship associated with contemporary textile practice in Australia.
The use of traditional and machine technologies, the collaboration and inter-disciplinary profiles of practitioners, the trend of slow making and sustainable practice is challenging the perception of the discipline of textiles.
There is a blurring within the definition of creative practice and Sensorial Loop aims to capture that shift in the exhibition.
Entry to the exhibition is $4 for adults, while children are free.
