The show runs from 19th to 22nd November and if any of you are going you might be interested in another exhibition which is running at the Pump Room Museum (just across the road)
The work is by a Yorkshire textile Artist, Serena Partridge and is based on historical fashion designs which she distorts and manipulates to produce curious garments and accessories. It sounds very interesting so if you can bear to leave the KSS and all those shopping opportunities, as well as the usual exhibition displays for a while, just take a short walk across the road to the Pump Rooms and if you hold onto your KSS ticket you will get in at a reduced entry of £2. Opening hours are 12-4p.m Thursday to Saturday and 2-4p.m on Sunday.
ALSO
for those of you who intend staying for a few days and feel like a train ride to York, there is a wonderful exhibition of Japanese Sashiko Textiles at the York Art Gallery near the Minster.
Sashiko is a form of stitching that the Japanese used to make their workwear until the middle of the 20th century and I am told by a friend who has already visited, that the fading of the Indigo fabric is quite amazing - can't wait to see it.
For those who are not staying over though, there is no rush, as the exhibition runs until 24th January 2010.
