Event overview:

Not So Fast! is an exhibition by twenty one textile artists and designers who bring together a glorious range of contemporary artworks and functional textiles for six days in April at the historic Octagon gallery in Bath. The show is curated by Carole Waller.

Each individual artist uses textile as a material or source for his or her own discipline, with intriguing techniques and results. Vibrant colours, sumptuous fabrics, tactile surfaces packed with meaning, depth and function, will interest and delight audiences alike.

Each exhibitor has a story to tell. The work ranges from individually designed clothes and accessories, to small and large scale textile hangings, and to interpretations of the metaphorical meaning of textiles through sculpture, installation and new media. Many of the artists have exhibited internationally and much of the work draws its inspiration from all over the world. This brilliant cross-over between the functional and conceptual is shown in one of Bath’s most iconic buildings: the 18th century Octagon. Work on show will be for sale.
