Stuart Haygarth will be working with the Haworth Art Gallery, Accrington.
(Spring 2011)
Haworth Art Gallery
The Haworth Art Gallery is housed in a former cotton manufacturer's mansion designed in the English Art and Crafts style. It is home to Europe's largest public display of Tiffany glass.
Stuart will be working with the Haworth to create a contemporary piece of work that responds to the Tiffany glass. The work look to reflect on the permanent collection and suggest new uses and influences that can be taken from it. Alongside Stuarts work, there will be a programme of opportunities for the public to get involved before and during the time the work will be exhibited.
