The theme of ‘Space’ tied in with the overall theme of Barnaby Arts Festival which runs in Macclesfield every 2 years. 62 Group members were invited to interpret the theme in its widest sense so you can see from the images of the exhibition there was a diverse response resulting in a varied and inspiring exhibition.

To accompany the exhibition at the Silk Museum in Macclesfield 62 Group member Tilleke Schwarz ran a 2 Day Workshop on 2 & 3 September 2016.
