Gawthorpe Textiles Collection exhibition - National Trust: Gawthorpe Hall, Padiham

Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth was an expert with a needle, as well as making textiles she also collected and studied them. The items on display in this exhibition are a tiny part of the extensive and beautiful collection, she built up throughout her lifetime. Using the theme of 'Colour', the exhibition showcases embroidery, pattern and printing, woolwork, metallic threads and some costume pieces. There is something for everyone to admire and be inspired by.

This exhibition is on the first floor, due to the historic nature of the building, there is no lift.
