Tansa, the Japanese word for exploration, is the link that binds this Anglo-Japanese exhibition.
The project began with exploration – a research visit to textile workshops, galleries and studios in Japan undertaken by eighteen UK artists, led by Professor Lesley Millar, Director of the International Textile Research Centre at the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham.
South Hill Park Arts Centre is hosting an exhibition of large works which draw from the meeting of minds and techniques, further explorations of process and practice have generated the idea to present this exhibition as a culmination of combined research; a celebration of Tansa: Japanese threads of influence.
The exhibition preview is on Thursday 3 March 6-8pm. If you would like to meet the artists, they will be at the exhibition on the 1, 5, 12 & 15 March, from 10-3.
