SUMMARY:Gardening for Health and Wellbeing - Thrive
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for a Growing Colour Together talk from gardening charity Thrive. \nThis online session by Thrive will explore the way in which gardens and gardening can be accessed and used for health and wellbeing\, including the evidence behind this. Across the presentation we will think about how in everyday life\, through our communities\, and through health and social care interventions\, gardens can be supportive of societal health and each life journey. \nWe will include practical ideas so that everyone can be more connected to nature through gardens for their own health benefit. The session will include how horticultural therapy links with the use of natural dye plants and some of the aims of our Growing Colour Together project. \nBook Your Place \nGrowing Colour Together is more than a project\, it’s a MOVEMENT! And our ambition is to create a district-wide\, natural-dye\, colour garden! We want to give everyone the opportunity to ‘have a grow\,’ use what’s grown to make natural dyes\, and learn about the environmental implications of chemical dyes and what we buy. It’s an evolving project and we want people to join in with the areas that interest you to grow\, make\, create and debate\, so this event is part of a series of talks\, events and workshops to help you get started with your colour garden.

SUMMARY:Building Bridges with Knitting after WW2; plus Knit & Natter
DESCRIPTION:Ahead of Night on the Knit\, join us for a knit-themed afternoon: first\, hear about how a knitting project helped the reconciliation between Britons and Germans in the aftermath of WW2\, then we’ll ‘knit & natter’ – don’t forget to bring your yarn! \nKnitting for Peace and Reconciliation: the Women’s Co-operative Guild’s remarkable humanitarian project after 1945\nSpeaker: Steven Illingworth \nThis talk will take a new look at the influence and work of the Women’s Co-operative movement during the Second World War. It will argue that the WCG\, who famously introduced the white poppy in 1933\, maintained a coherent pacifist policy throughout the conflict and gave vital support to the ‘victims of aggression’ both during and after the war. \nStay around after Steven’s talk for some knitting and nattering! Bring along whatever you’re working on and join a friendly group of fellow crafters in our bright gallery space. Crocheters (cross-stitchers\, patchworkers….) are welcome too! \nThis is an informal social session\, not a taught workshop\, but you’ll be able to share tips and ideas\, swap patterns and meet new people. \nBOOK YOUR PLACE

SUMMARY:Hudfam: The Huddersfield Origins of the Fair Trade and Sustainability Movement
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a public talk by Professor Bertrand Taithe on the history of Hudfam and its remarkable founder Elisabeth Wilson. \nThis is the story of how Huddersfield came to have one of the first charity shops in the country selling second-hand clothes and fair-trade products. Originally called the Huddersfield Famine Relief Committee\, Hudfam was founded in 1943 to campaign for relief during the Indian and Greek famines in the Second World War. In the 1960s it organised a sale of items made by Chinese refugees in Hong Kong. This was the start of Hudfam’s pioneering sale of fairly-traded handicrafts made in development projects around the world– an idea which became the bedrock of Oxfam’s global development and sustainability goals. \nElisabeth Wilson was a ground-breaking woman: entrepreneur\, fundraiser\, development campaigner\, Quaker\, Buddhist and peace activist. Her fascinating story will be told through her memoirs\, photographs and fair-trade objects. \nThis is a free event\, but donations are very welcome. \nBOOK YOUR PLACE \nBSL interpretation will be available at this event.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare and the Fur Trade: Ermines and Whiteness in The Winter's Tale
DESCRIPTION:Fur was an important marker of status in early modern England. \nThis talk\, by Dr Todd Andrew Borlick\, investigates the role of fur as a performing object on the Shakespearean stage\, revealing the problematic alliance between the theatre industry and the global fur trade. \nIt argues that Shakespeare troubles this alliance by humanising animals and bestialising humans\, while exposing furs as signifiers of racialised affect. Specifically\, it looks at the queen Hermione in The Winter’s Tale as a personified ermine\, a creature that embodies monarchical power\, female sexual purity\, and hyper-whiteness. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Todd Andrew Borlik ia a Reader in Renaissance Literature\, Director of International for Arts & Humanities\, Admission Tutor for English Literature\, Creative Writing\, and Screen Writing\, and Membership Secretary for ASLE-UKI\n\nFind out more in his most recent book – Shakespeare Beyond the Green World\n\nBOOK YOUR PLACE

SUMMARY:Growing Colour Together Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our WOVEN 2023 Growing Colour Together Symposium to celebrate the work our artists and communities have created together. This year WOVEN has commissioned seven artists to work with three areas in Kirklees. The artists have worked in partnership with the community planting dye gardens and using what’s grown to make natural dyes for textiles! Hear what they have been up to during this artist and community discussion panel. \nWOVEN has two Post Graduate Research students exploring the Growing Colour Together project. We will be joined by MA researchers Hannah Schofield-Lee and Kayleigh Davis for a presentation on their research and findings so far. \nDebbie Bamford\, of the Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC) \, will talk about natural dyes used in the textile industry. Natural dyes have been used to colour textiles for over 6000 years. Superseded by synthetic dyes from the late 19th century\, concerns about the environment and pollution form the dye industry have turned thoughts back to the natural world. This talk is a travel through time with commercial use of natural dyes. \nWe will also be joined by two other special guest speakers; Claire Wellesley-Smith\, author of Resilient Stitch and Slow Stitch\, and Bella Gonshorovitz\, author of Grow\, Cook\, Dye and Wear. \nThere will be tours of the Barbara Hepworth building including print and dye facilities with textile samples and techniques to explore throughout the day. \nBOOK YOUR PLACE \nBSL interpretation will be available at this event.

SUMMARY:Sew Inclusive: male & non-binary textile artists in conversation
DESCRIPTION:“When I started to use embroidery – some women had a problem with this\, they felt that I was working in a territory that was not supposed to be mine.” – Michael Raedecker \nHear textile artists Richard McVetis\, David Morrish and Andi Walker discussing their experiences and artistic practices\, in a panel chaired by fellow textile artist Nicola Perren. \nRichard McVetis studied at Manchester School of Art & the Royal College of Art\, where he now teaches. His practice is deeply rooted in process\, and intrinsic to this is hand embroidery: a record of time and presence\, an embodiment of thought and patience. Recent works examine the connection to material and place through personal histories and address questions of class and race. \nDavid Morrish is the Wilcom Digital Embroiderer of the Year (2019 & 2021) and has collaborated with leading artists\, designers and brands across the globe. His work crosses boundaries & disciplines and tackles a wide range of subject matters. Amongst other things\, he is currently working on a collaborative quilt for the Terrence Higgins Trust\, which will be unveiled at this year’s Festival of Quilts\, and he was recently featured on BBC1’s “Make it at Market”\, showcasing digital embroidery to over 2 million viewers. \nA graduate of the Royal College of Art\, Andi Walker’s work frequently challenges and subverts societal norms around gender. Their work often includes performative methods of applying dye to cloth\, and is frequently positioned within the context of dance\, exploring the relationship between dancer & garment. They have recently worked with the Yorkshire Sculpture Park\, creating the “Stitched Stories” quilt\, which is on display at YSP until 9th July. \nBOOK YOUR PLACE

SUMMARY:The Cultures of Climate Arts Trail
DESCRIPTION:Journey across The Cultures of Climate Art trail\, to Dewsbury and Huddersfield – to find Recycling En Masse – its heritage\, activism\, and future. \n‘Recycling En Masse’ is a collection of printed reproductions of paintings and photographs depicting citizens of Dewsbury\, with views of Textile Mills. \nThese images are part of the site-specific ‘Cultures of Climate Art Trail’\, between Huddersfield and Dewsbury\, exploring the role of art as an asset for social and environmental sustainability. \nVisitors are invited to consider the current climate crisis\, against the backdrop of the 19c and 20c production of Shoddy and Mungo – the earliest and largest example of recycled textile fabric. Instead of celebrating the industrial ingenuity\, or scale of recycling\, the artworks from the Kirklees Collections help shine a light on the social contexts of the industry. \nThe textile installation ‘Soar Away’ (2022) by New Zealand-based artist Deborah Rundle tells the story the activism of Ann Ellis\, and the Hillstone Fibre Arts exhibition using yarn from Huddersfield company Iinouiio Recycled Textiles are also part of the trail. \nAn online discussion between Dr Janine Sykes and artist Deborah Rundle is to take place during the Arts Trail /WOVEN Festival – stay tuned for more information. \nTHE TRAIL LOCATIONS: \n-Recycle En Masse Toast House Café\, University of Huddersfield Queen St South Annexe\, Huddersfield HD1 3DR 10am-3pm Mon-Thurs\, 10am-2:30pm Fri. \n-Soar Away Deborah Rundle\, Dewsbury Town Hall\, Wakefield Old Rd\, Dewsbury WF12 8DG\, 9am–5pm Mon-Fri \n–Hillstone Fibre Arts Exhibition the Arcade Pop-Up\, 25 Princess of Wales Precinct\, Dewsbury WF13 1NH 10am-2pm Wed–Fri \n

SUMMARY:Artist Talk - Kirstie Macleod - The Red Dress Project
DESCRIPTION:Join Artist Kirstie Macleod for an introduction to The Red Dress project. \nKirstie has been an artist for over 20 years and has dedicated 16 of those to The Red Dress project. What started as a sketch in 2009 evolved into a global collaboration\, connecting thousands worldwide. Growing up across diverse cultures\, Kirstie’s early years were infused with colour\, language\, and contrasting experiences. Art became her way of understanding her journey\, leading her to a BA in Textile Design and an MA in Visual Language & Performance. \nEmbroidery soon captivated her with its rich history and potential for expression. A pivotal moment came in 2002 in southern India\, where she stitched alongside Karnatakan Lambani women\, sharing a profound\, wordless connection. The Red Dress began as an exploration of identity\, transforming into a symbol of unity and voice. Amidst global challenges\, its message of collaboration and compassion resonates stronger than ever\, inspiring hope for a more connected and empathetic world. \nFree but booking required. WOVEN in a not for profit organisations so any donations on the day are welcome. \nBOOK SEATED TICKETS HERE \n*The seating at this event is now fully booked\, there will be some standing room available which is not necessary to book* \nIf you can’t make this  event you can join our online talk on 18 June. \nBSL Interpreted \nAccessibility information for Oakwell Hall can be found here
