Q&A: Jacquard Weaving & The Point Paper Art Company
Saturday 4 May, 1-4pm
FREE ENTRY • All Welcome

Delve deeper into our current exhibition Outside the Square which explores the Jacquard weaving process from design through to final fabric. We’ll spend some time chatting to friends of South Square who have previously worked in roles across the textile industry including artworkers who painted textile point papers, which are displayed in the current exhibition. Richard Smith, who worked for family firm E&S Smith will talk about the The Point Paper Art Company which he has put together drawing on the companies archive and point papers collected from across Europe.

All Welcome

Peter and Patricia have been connected to South Square for over 25 years as artists, volunteers, curators and served on the management committee. This exhibition is the first time they have come together to show their work.

PATRICIA CALVER
Faces, hoods, masks and anonymity have been recurring themes for me. What we see, how we are seen – looking at and looking out. Playing with paint on wooden squares reflects the photo booth of self, our passport, faceless expressions that both reveal our identity but hides our true self.

PETER LUND
When I have sufficient energy I do a spot of painting which I enjoy. I haven’t a theme other than ‘Memories and Reflections’
