WOVEN is partnering with Ravensthorpe Community Centre to bring the Kirklees Calico Dress to life.

Several local groups are already on board representing Ravensthorpe, Dewsbury, Huddersfield, Slaithwaite, Batley, Skelmenthorpe, Kirkburton, Meltham, and Holme Valley, ad we’ve been busy with workshops all across the district. View the gallery below to see some of the inspiring patches that have been created, including the very first patch.

The completed dress will be showcased at WOVEN Festival 2027, along with the other West Yorkshire dresses, celebrating the rich tapestry of community voices across West Yorkshire.
