Naturally Dyed: A Student Showcase
The Museum at Hanson
A lively exhibition of work by Hanson Academy textile students.
Swain House Rd
Sutton Ave
Bradford
BD2 1JP
Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult
A group of 15 Hanson Academy year 10 textiles students will showcase their dyed textile final pieces in a degree style showcase.
They will be taking part in a three part experience, including information gathering and research, a practical workshop and a reflective showcase – which you’re invited to!
The students will focus on the Victorian ornamental designs and patterns of the era, in line with the city’s main architectural style. Students will experiment with natural dyes and shapes to recreate some of Bradford’s heritage.
The students will curate an exhibition of their textile creations in the museum at Hanson. Their pieces will be displayed with their name and some annotations describing their individual learning journeys.
This event is part of Heritage Open Days, England’s largest festival of history and culture, and is presented by an organisation involved in Bradford 2025’s Elevate programme, which aims to strengthen, sustain and increase the agility of Bradford’s heritage sector.
Made possible thanks to funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
