Sweet Factory is a vibrant and playful exhibition celebrating the rich, shared histories of sweet making, working-class food traditions, and seaside culture.
Melt, mix, mould, pat, press, settle, slump, stretch, extrude: the exhibition draws parallels between the processes of glass making (liquid sand) and sweet making (liquid sugar), featuring newly created glass artworks by artist Linny Venables and workshop participants from Southport and Bootle, alongside research, documentation, and objects sourced from local sweet factories. Through colourful displays showcasing joyful experimentation, material transformation, and community storytelling, Sweet Factory invites audiences of all ages to engage with local history and the pleasures of making processes.
Sweet Factory is curated by Linny Venables and supported by Arts Council England and At The Library.
