We re-launched the Weavers Factory gallery on January 8th 2022 with ‘Horizontality and Verticality’ - an exhibition celebrating Joan Charnley’s 1949 textile design thesis ‘Horizontality and Verticality - the Importance of Stripe in Textile Design’. To celebrate our relaunch we’ve produced our first ever book (a 210-page art book telling the story of Joan’s thesis), plus brand new limited-edition prints from the thesis and Joan’s 1952 textile “Stars and Stripes” textile design. And on the top floor we invited design students from Oldham college to create new work inspired by Joan’s thesis.
