A Sense of Place

A collaborative exhibition with textile artists Cas Holmes & Rosie James

The Batsford Gallery is looking forward to welcoming a brand-new textile art exhibition from 2nd – 22nd June!

Batsford authors Cas Holmes and Rosie James will be exhibiting their collaborative show ‘A Sense of Place’ where they will bring together two bodies of work that speak to each other about people and place; inspired by travel and migration. 

The exhibition will be running through June at Batsford’s gallery space on Hackney Road, so make sure to drop in for gorgeous textile artworks and a signed copy of their books.

OPENING HOURS:

Thursdays – Fridays 12–7pm

Saturdays – Sundays 11–6pm

Meet the artists and book signing on THURSDAY 22ND JUNE 12-3PM

‘Cloud Crowd’ and ‘Shipping Forecast’ reflect upon the movement of people whether in a hurry for work, leisure or even in some cases forced to flee. “Travel and migration are part of human history. We saw the possibility of reflecting on this story by the interaction of these works.”

The exhibition is free, so please come along and visit this stunning display of textile art in East London, where there will also be pieces available to purchase.
