This unique exhibition showcases students' creative responses to a family’s historic textile collection.

‘Heritage Threads’ offers an intimate exploration of how history, memory, and craftsmanship intertwine. It presents a dialogue between a family’s cherished textile heritage and the vibrant new works it has inspired. Each piece showcases the students’ connection to textiles' cultural and artistic importance while honouring the tradition of collecting and preserving cloth within families.

Celebrating the continued relevance of textile art and design, and bridging generations in a compelling tribute to heritage, creativity, and community, this exhibition invites you to connect with the past and present.

Students’ creations are complemented by work of the staff of the Textile Art, Design and Fashion course at Ulster University’s Belfast School of Art, including Hazel Bruce, Anna Duffy and Lyndsey MacDougall.

There will be an official closing of the works on Saturday 31 May, 2-4pm
