THE ADULT & STUDENT TEXTILE COMPETITION 2022
THEME: BENEATH THE WAVES
NEW VENUE: THE SHREWSBURY MUSEUM & ART GALLERY
We are delighted to announce that the Shrewsbury Drapers Company will be holding their Annual Textile Design Competition in a new venue for 2022 – The Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery, The Square, Shrewsbury SY1 1LH.
Over the years our Textile Design Competition has gained national recognition through our contacts and links with other Guilds throughout the country. We are particularly grateful to our sponsors the London Drapers, The Worshipful Company of Woolmen and Tweedmill Textiles for their very generous support for our competition.
We are always truly inspired by the range of entries for our competition and 2021 was no exception with the amazing textile pieces based on the theme ‘Rainforest’.
We hope to encourage as many entries as possible for our Textile Design Competition in 2022 for both the amateur Adult and Student categories based on the theme ‘Beneath the Waves’.
