TYPE OF EVENT: AN INSTALLATION

DATE: SEPTEMBER 2017
Originally on display earlier in the summer in Blackburn Cathedral as part of the inaugural National Festival of Making. This collection of work by Bella May Leonard explored architectural structure, pattern and embellishment with unfamiliar threads and embroidery methods in contrasting contexts: from the industrial mattress factory of Silentnight to rural folk art found in the French Alps.
