Hidden worlds

Paper collage and stitch - Jo Valentine

Celebrating the industrial heritage of the Yorkshire Dales, Textilia 3 artists have turned their gaze on the Hoffmann Lime Kilns at Langcliffe near Settle.  This almost-hidden factory produced huge amounts of lime from the late 19th to mid 20th century but have since fallen into disuse.  

The scale and majesty of the abandoned kilns has proved a rich source of inspiration for the group and forms a new exhibition which will go on display at The Folly in July 2025.
