Notes:

The Second Life exhibition showcased the creations made by nine QEST Scholars who repurposed the fabric taken from the Zoffany x Benedict Foley Entrance Hall at this year’s WOW!house into revelatory new designs. From fashion to art, the final Scholars presented a reimagining of the Long Gallery Brocade, a wool and cotton fabric woven by one of Suffolk’s last remaining silk mills and dye houses using traditional techniques and 100% natural fibres.
