Really inspiring to see the work of BA (Hons) Textiles and Surface Design students at Greater Manchester University, a brilliant collaboration with Gawthorpe Textiles Collection and Surface Print Ltd.

Drawing on the Gawthorpe archives, the students presented a strong mix of design-led textiles and bold wallcovering concepts.

An inspring, thoughtful, and exciting showcase of emerging talent.

Just been to see 'The Sacred Memory Bank' at Kirby Gallery, it was fabulous.

Liverpool artists and .26 turn everyday objects, lost fragments, texts and collage into powerful little portals through time. Each assemblage feels like a piece of physical poetry, memories, symbols and curios woven together to remind us who we were… and who we’re becoming.

If you’re anywhere near it, go see it before it closes on Friday 27th March 2026.

In The Window March 2026 is our Hope University Showcase Award featuring Erin Eaves! Erin graduated from Liverpool Hope University in July 2025. Her final degree show showcased a collection of silk screen-printed garments in striking reds and silver, inspired by her Chinese heritage and her grandmothers memories growing up in 1960s Liverpool. Alongside the garments, she created a cold, hooper copper necklace through experimentation with traditional media. In October 2024 British Vogue featured her work in the Vogue X BMW Future Creators project. Her sleek silver neck piece, crafted from recycled aluminium cans and reclaimed ring pulls, reflects her commitment to sustainability. Come and view the window throughout March ⭐️
