Exhibitions

Text-Texture-Textiles

Text-Texture-Textiles at Tweeddale Museum and Gallery, High Street, Peebles (June – August 2025), a major exhibition to celebrate 25 years of our vibrant and dynamic collective. Longstanding members showed their favourite older works alongside their newer works, to show how their art practice has developed over time, and newer members were able to exhibit their recent work.

This exhibition also commemorated the 150th anniversary of John Buchan’s birth, in conjunction with Live Borders and The John Buchan Museum. For this section of the exhibition, members displayed textile art inspired by John Buchan’s novels, his life and his love of nature.
