Take a special guided tour of Paradise Mill: you will find out about the history of weaving and current hand loom weaving! One of the looms is in operation and two graduates from Manchester Metropolitan University’s Manchester School of Art have been weaving a new design on the restored loom. Bea Uprichard and Ruth Farris are on a graduate placement and have been looking through the archive of pattern books and the work of past designers to inform their own designs, which have a modern sensibility. Bea and Ruth will talk you through this process and show you their new design.
