Meeting Point: Weaving the Portraits

Meeting Point workshop on 2nd July 2022. Members of the local community were invited to help weave yarn into mesh fencing to create symbolic portraits of forgotten mill workers and communities impacted by the cotton trade. We are delighted to be taking part in Meeting Point, the Arts&Heritage initiative that brings heritage sites and contemporary artists together. Funded by Arts Council England, the project works to create art installations that engage new audiences with our history and site in imaginative and challenging ways. This summer, Hetain Patel will be exhibiting his new work ‘Cotton Labour’ in the yard at Cromford Mills. It will be open to the public to view from Saturday 16th July until Sunday 18th September 2022.
