Current & Upcoming Exhibitions

‘Myth and Moor’, Sophie Tyrrell

The surrounding moorland provides the backdrop for Oldham based artist Sophie Tyrrell as she playfully grapples with the myth of progress. Dramatic carnivalesque scenes are animated by costumed creatures, using traditional crafting materials and brilliant colour.

Pedestrian by Emma Blackburn

10th May – 26th July

Steeped in contrasts between movement and stillness, Pedestrian is a retrospective of textile-based works by artist/maker Emma Blackburn. Her work explores relationships and family history through opposing materials: hard and soft sculpture, striking colours, pressed flowers, basic shapes, and reflective surfaces.
