🧵 SAVING THE MACCLESFIELD STRIPE - OPENING SATU

🧵 SAVING THE MACCLESFIELD STRIPE - OPENING SATURDAY 18 SEPTEMBER 🧵

This new Silk Museum exhibition @maccmuseums, opening on Saturday 18 September 2021, will take you behind the scenes of the Macclesfield Stripe collection, where you will discover the iconic 1920s -1940s Macclesfield designs and how we are protecting them for future generations.

Despite the Macclesfield Stripe being one of the best-known designs made in Macclesfield, we have been unable to display m much of this collection. After years of storage in tightly packed boxes, damage has unfortunately occurred to these now delicate and fine fabrics. We discovered embedded creases and even torn areas within the collection, making them unsuitable for display.

Thanks to the Textile Society and the Friends of the Silk Museum we have begun to fix these issues, with the help of Conservator Zoe Lanceley and Costume Volunteers. The team have been working on the costume collection throughout lockdown, helping keep this important project going during these difficult times.

This exhibition is a celebration of their work so far, focusing on the conservation work and new storage solutions for the dresses and handkerchiefs.

Thanks to the team this will be the first time in decades we can finally display a selection of this vibrant, eye catching collection.

Come along to the opening event on Saturday 18 September 2021, 10-4pm, for live jazz—with Annie’s Saints and Sinners (familiar to Treacle visitors) and singer Molly Becker from Manchester; art activities and of course to see the wonderful Macc Stripe!

With thanks to everyone who made this year's version of the famous Barnaby Parade possible!

With special thanks to our funders @macclesfieldtc @cheshireeast @aceagrams

A massive thank you to everyone who came to the #B

A massive thank you to everyone who came to the #BarnabyBright21☀️ collection of midsummer events (the first that we've programmed in the year between festivals). Thanks also to our funders & supporters. We had loads of fun putting together the programme & working with lovely artists, volunteers & community partners. It feels a bit sad that the derig has happened - although there's time now to enjoy an Estival on the beach 🍻

We'd love your feedback on the events that you attended and have put together a very short evaluation survey to help us report to funders and programme future events and activities here & in bio: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BarnabyBrightAllEvents

In case you need further incentive, we are holding a prize draw where one randomly picked survey respondent will win a bag full of Barnaby Bright merchandise including @redwillowbrewery collaboration, the limited edition art-beer #Estival.

We will also have further opportunities for you to tell us what arts and cultural events and happenings you want to see in Macclesfield via the Barnaby AIR programme, and when we start planning for next year's Festival - so look out for further opportunities, or get in touch via mail@barnabyfestival.org.uk

Sign up to our newsletter via our website www.barnabyfestival.org.uk to find out what we are up to next

Big love 🧡 the team at Barnaby x

Funders & supporters

Check out the current Macclesfield Open exhibition!This year's show attracted 420 entries from 150 artists, mostly local. Everything submitted has been included in the exhibition and the standard is exceptionally high. There were no restrictions on who could enter so there is work from artists both young and old and from first time amateurs and seasoned and successful professionals. The exhibition includes paintings, drawings, prints, photography, sculpture and ceramics and much of the work is for sale. As before, when sales are made, artists have agreed to make a further donation to the hospice. Thousand of pounds have already been raised by the artists themselves and with lots of sales a lot more would be raised. With prices ranging from just a few pounds to over £6000 and works in a wide range of styles, from abstract to photorealist, there is something for everybody. Visitors to the exhibition are also encouraged to donate, with a link to the East Cheshire Hospice website provided. The exhibition can be viewed at www.maccopen.org.uk until the end of October. ...
