Artists taking part in the Food for All Exhibition
Food is an important part of culture and traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next. Food tells us who we are, and where we’ve come from. It is what defines us, builds, and creates happy memories.

Given that ‘Black, Grey & Yellow’ is the exhibition’s colour theme, the first thing that popped into my head was a Manchester worker bee, and because I wanted a slightly industrial and aged look to the work, I chose to stitch into eco printed cloth.
Colour Exhibition: Worker Bees – hand embroidered in vintage threads in yellow and slate grey.
I usually stitch in red thread, so this was a challenge for me. I liked the result so much that I created two companion pieces called Sound of the Mill #1 & #2. Each piece features Lancashire dialect poetry from ‘The Cotton Mill’ poem first published in The Bolton Chronicle in 1864.
