An evening with The 62 Group: Meet & Make
6 - 8pm
Saturday 16 May
As part of Threads Festival @sunnybankmills
Join some of the artists in the 62 Group’s new Touchlines exhibition for the chance to ask questions and take part in mini workshops!
During this 2 hour Meet & Make session, artists Andi Walker, Jane Walkley, Ealish Wilson, Hannah Lamb, Isobel Currie and Mei Lock will come together to discuss the process of creating their Touchlines work and curating an exhibition with group members from across the UK.
What to expect
Touchlines (3rd floor of the 1912 Mill) will be open until the event begins at 6pm, allowing you time to explore the exhibition and familiarise yourself with the artwork prior to the event.
45 min – A relaxed, behind-the-scenes chat about their creative process.
15 min – Open Q&A to ask the artists anything.
1 hour – Hands-on stations where you can explore each artist’s techniques and have a go.
Whether you're an artist, a textile enthusiast, or just curious about the 62 Group and their cohort, this is the event for you! No previous experience necessary.
A pop up bar will be open and we recommend coming to the Mills early to experience our annual Threads Textile Festival.

As Touchlines prepares to open in just over two weeks, we're excited to share another glimpse of the work that will be on show.
This is Stitched Stories by @andiwalker1965 , a work that explores cloth as a vessel for tenderness and resilience, where stitching becomes a quiet act of care.
Stitched Stories will be shown as part of Touchlines, our upcoming exhibition @sunnybankmills , Farsley, West Yorkshire, running 1-31 May.
