Chapel Gallery Exhibition: Trash to Treasure – Second Turning Textile Group

This exhibition from Second Turning Textile Group explores the creative potential of unconventional, found, and repurposed materials. It celebrates reuse, recycling, and repair—transforming items that might otherwise be discarded into sources of inspiration for textile and mixed‑media practice.

Items from the exhibition will be available to purchase.

Second Turning are a group of fourteen textile and mixed media artists based in Nottinghamshire.

Strait Laced and Stitched Up, their 2025 exhibition in our Chapel Gallery, was very popular and has since been expanded and is currently on display at Harborough Museum alongside the Symington corsets that inspired the work. For more information please visit Straitlaced and Stitched Up | Harborough Museum

PLEASE NOTE: As the Gallery is a shared space, if possible, please do check availability to view the exhibition before visiting to avoid disappointment.

Please also see the Wrapping & Weaving drop-in family workshop from Second Turning that accompanies this exhibition on Wednesday 27 May from 10am to 12pm. Please click here for more information … Wrapping & Weaving – A Free Half-Term Family Drop-In Workshop – Framework Knitters Museum
