Join us to celebrate the launch of the Autumn/Winter 2024 issue of Crafts at The Whitworth in Manchester on Friday 18 October at 6pm – with a conversation with Turner Prize nominee Delaine Le Bas, who is interviewed in the upcoming magazine.
Le Bas will be chatting about her life and work, which addresses themes such as nationhood, land, belonging and gender across diverse media including embroidery, painting, decoupage, sculpture, installations and performance.
At this drink reception, you’ll meet the Crafts and The Whitworth team, some of the contributors and interviewees in the new issue, as well as people from the wider craft community who are passionate about making.
This in person event will take place at the Whitworth in Manchester on Friday 18 October from 18:00-21:00. A recording of the talk will be available on the Crafts Membership Community page for members to enjoy after the event.
