The Gleaning on Tour 

Picture
A group of creatives collaborated to make The Gleaning for Somerset Arts Weeks in 2023. The project It was a collaborative project involving hundreds of people in Shepton Mallet over several months. The 11 textile and paper panels depicted stories in 'stained glass' gathered from the community on a range of themes. Click on The Gleaning below to see each art piece. We are very excited to take The Gleaning on Tour to Holy Island in Northumbria - linking the work produced in the South West with the North East where we will facilitate a new panel which will remain in situ. The exhibition and related workshops are part of the Re-Breathe Arts Festival on Holy Island. More information about booking workshops is available here: Re-Breathe Arts Festival
