Textile Society weaves community ties in Manchester

The Textile Society hosted their annual Antique and Vintage Textiles Fair in Manchester on Sunday.

Creators and customers came from across the UK to buy and sell vintage fabrics, clothing, furniture and artwork.

The fair has been held annually in Manchester since 1992, bringing the rich textiles community together.

Textile Society Editor Pat Frost said: “The whole idea is to educate people, and to supply money for students and projects.

“It’s to support the textiles arts really, whether or not you’re a maker or an academic or both… and to meet up and gossip!”

The funds raised from the fair will be used for bursaries for students, graduates and industry professionals.
