About the Contemporary Textiles Fair

The Contemporary Textiles Fair

The Contemporary Textiles Fair, held every year, usually in March, is an established must-visit event in the textile lovers’ calendar. The fair is unique in its focus on textile artists and designer makers, unencumbered by suppliers, DIY kits, and other craft disciplines. It is this clear focus, together with the unique setting and returning visitors that make this event both enjoyable and successful, year after year.

The Contemporary Textiles Fair is somewhere textile enthusiasts, collectors, and art lovers can come to find artworks with texture, wearable masterpieces, handmade homeware, and unique curiosities. This isn’t granny’s knitted teacosy territory, this is contemporary quality! From stitched wall-hangings with conceptual significance, to carefully designed and hand-crafted objects, this fair does not discriminate – the art/craft barrier fades away to reveal exceptional talent in textiles.
