Songs of Cloth


  • Ilkley Manor House Castle Yard Ilkley, England, LS29 United Kingdom (map)

Annie Fforde’s commissioned installation, Fabric of Memory, premiered at Songs of Cloth as one of OUR TURN Festival commissions.

From 1–16 November 2025, Ilkley Manor House presented a quiet gathering of textile works by Hannah Lamb, Annie Fforde, Sarah Gamble, Pippa Hamilton, and Lorna Jewitt as part of the OUR TURN Festival. The exhibition sat close to process—stitch, dye, and surface—as ways of carrying memory and touch, moving from small, attentive gestures to material-led installation.
