Hannah Lamb, Inspired by Textile Heritage

We are very pleased to announce our November event. In the morning, textile artist Hannah Lamb

will speak about her work, with an opportunity to ask questions. In the afternoon, you will be free to

explore the gorgeous Sunny Bank Mills Christmas Fair and the new exhibition Broken//Makeshift.

You can also visit the mill’s wonderful shop Scrap Centre of Creative Reuse, the art studios, and the

mill’s fabric and yarn stores.

Hannah Lamb is a textile artist, lecturer and author, based at her home studio in Bingley, West

Yorkshire. She works with a range of textile processes, including stitch, print and fabric

manipulation, creating textile artworks from an intimate scale to larger installation works. An

interest in textile archives and local textile industry has led to recent research projects and

exhibitions with Salts Mill, Bradford Textile Archive, Sunny Bank Mills, 509 Arts and The Brontë

Parsonage Museum.

Hannah gained a BA (Hons.) Embroidery (2001) and MA Textiles (2010) from Manchester

Metropolitan University. She has lectured in textiles at Bradford School of Art (Bradford College) since 2004,

where she is currently Programme Leader for the Foundation Degree and BA (Hons) Textiles Practice. Hannah

exhibits nationally and is an exhibiting member of the 62 Group of Textile Artists.

Hannah's first solo book, Poetic Cloth; Creating Meaning in Textile Art, was published by Batsford in 2019 and she is currently writing her second book, which will focus on textile art inspired by historical textiles.
