Stroud International Textile Festival (1-21 May, 2009) is an annual, innovative exploration of the wonder of textiles. And if that sounds like something for the initiated only… well think again and come down to the Stroud Valleys to have perceptions changed. These days textile artists create sculptural masterpieces that would grace any conventional art gallery. And Stroud’s event is world standard.
The organisers are always keen to diversify – this year Keith Tippett and Julie Tippetts play one of the most unusual gigs of their career as they bring contemporary jazz to the Stroud Subscription Rooms as part of the Festival, on Sunday, 3rd May. Tickets on 01453 760960.
