BENDING the Line alludes to the method by which art works in the Hub's current exhibition have been created, and nods towards the literary inspiration behind some of the pieces.

Textiles are made by bringing together lines of fibres or spun threads which can be interlaced, woven, knotted, knitted, stitched, tied, layered, stiffened, or bent.

The element of line is fundamental and is exploited for reasons of structure, drawing and colour mixing.

The exhibition has been created by members of the 62 group of textile artists featuring artists from Japan, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands alongside those from the UK.

When & Where: Open until September 6. The Hub National Centre for Craft and Design, Sleaford, 10am - 5pm Monday to Sunday. Call 01529 308710. www.thehubcentre.info
