ReSisters – Women, Craftivism, Art & Fashion

A celebration of women transforming textiles, fashion and art at Elaine Foster-Gandey Art, Lostwithiel. 

Running from Friday 11 September to Saturday 26 September, ReSisters brings together contemporary fine art, textile art, reconstructed fashion, ceramics, jewellery, printmaking and wearable art in a celebration of the creativity, skill and imagination of women working across traditional and contemporary craft practices.   For more details about the exhibition see this news  item.

A PROCESSION TO LAUNCH RESISTERS

The exhibition opens with a special Private View on Friday 11 September, from 5–8pm, and everyone is invited to take part. 

At 6pm, visitors and artists will leave the gallery at 15 Queen Street for a colourful procession around the streets of Lostwithiel. A number of participants will be dressed in outfits created or exhibited by the artists taking part in ReSisters, turning the town itself into a moving celebration of art, fashion and making.

The procession will leave the gallery on Queen Street, continue to Fore Street, turn right into Quay Street, continue under the archway and along South Street, before heading back up to Queen Street and returning to the gallery.

On arrival back at the gallery, there will be short talks from the exhibiting artists, giving visitors an opportunity to hear more about the inspiration, materials and ideas behind their work, followed by drinks and nibbles.

LOST IN ART – HANDS-ON TASTER WORKSHOPS

As part of Lost in Art, Lostwithiel's arts festival, visitors can continue the creative experience at Elaine Foster-Gandey Art on Saturday 12 September, with a programme of four hands-on workshops exploring different approaches to making, materials and the natural world.  More information on this page
