Oceans – International Textile Exhibition

8 January – 2 March 2025

The International Textile Exhibition is back with fifteen different countries being represented.

Ocean is the inspiration for the work entered into the competition from internationally renowned textiles artists. There is a stunning array of figurative and abstract work reflecting the artist’s vision of the ocean, inluding ideas about water as source of life, and the foundation of our environment.

This exhibition features the 30 finalists from all over the world working in many different styles and creative techniques.

Farfield Mill is the only UK venue part of this exciting international 10-month touring exhibition featuring galleries, museums and quilting events around the world.
