Hear from artist, lecturer and author Hannah Lamb during our annual Textile Festival as she discusses her process and previous projects.
About this Event

In her talk, ‘A quiet unfolding’, Hannah will discuss how her working process treads a fine balance between control and risk, making and unmaking.

In this talk she will discuss how research informs her making, imbuing her work with richly layered meaning and metaphor.
