As part of this year’s Somerset Art Weeks Festival, Somerset Rural Life Museum celebrates Wool. Spinning a Yarn tells the story of wool in Somerset through art installations, an exhibition, workshops, talks and family activities.
In the Museum’s 14th century Abbey Barn visitors encounter a dramatic new installation by Nicola Turner and a film by Trevor Pitt ‘Somerset Yarning’. In the Mapstone Gallery contemporary makers display works made with wool and a collaborative community artwork created through the Spinning a Yarn – Take Part programme is displayed. Workshops for adults and children are taking place, plus talks, all offering a chance to learn about wool from experienced artists and makers.
Spinning a Yarn opens at Somerset Rural Life Museum in Glastonbury from 14 September to 30 November 2024.
The Nicola Turner and Trevor Pitt commissions in the Abbey Barn will close on 2 November.
