Woven Lives at Bradford Cathedral

Bradford Cathedral

Stunning glass artwork displayed in Bradford Cathedral.

A display of stunning glass artworks at Bradford Cathedral - a Bradford 2025 Community Award project.

About the project

Woven Lives was a beautiful and powerful artwork which talks of the lives and stories of the people of Bradford. The woven coloured glass and symbols, lit from within, showed how light and dark times are all part of the story of community and connection.

Set in tranquil gardens, the Cathedral is Bradford’s most ancient place of worship, alive with peace, prayer, and a sense of story from its 13 centuries at the heart of the City.

About the artist

Linda Baines made ‘Woven Lives’ for Bradford Cathedral. A Leeds-based artist mainly working in glass, Linda also facilitates art and mental wellbeing programmes and community projects.
