A gallery of stars! All the past winners of the stitched textile award have been invited to take part in what we know will be a very interesting exhibition. The exhibition will show the imagination, talent and expertise that made a Foyle Trust winner. The artists show through their work the new directions they have taken and what their major influences now are.
Workshops, led by some of the previous recipients of the award will also accompany this exhibition. See more on our Adult Workshops page. These workshops are kindly subsidised by the Charles Henry Foyle Trust.
This is an exhibition of paintings of the 1914-18 Battlefields by the artist Rob Perry. The exhibition is both moving and evocative. Rob likes to paint 'plein-air' or as he terms it - as a direct response to his subject matter. Most of the work was painted in the winter months while living and working in the less accessible woodland areas of the Somme battlefields. His revolutionary technique for working in darkness has resulted in a series of stunningly atmospheric images of lamp-lit and moonlight trenches that give new insights into these historically significant and emotionally charged sites.

In addition to the permanent exhibits at the Forge Mill Needle Museum and Bordesley Abbey Visitor Centre, we also have a wide variety of interesting and exciting exhibitions throughout the year.
The exhibitions are housed on the middle floor of the Mill building.
There is no additional charge to enter the exhibitions, since the cost is included in our normal admission rates.
