Loops is a new collaborative exhibition at Sunny Bank Mills, connecting three textile artists from the Netherlands with three textile artists from Yorkshire.

The work is created around the theme of cycles, circles and continuums. These are both open enough to invite unique responses but perfectly suited to the medium of textiles, which involves long processes and repetitive motions. The artists involved are: Gea van Eck, Monika Loster, Hanneke van Broekhoven,  Andi Walker, Hannah Robson and Jane Claire Wilson.

The result is a large-scale collaborative artwork celebrating the power of international collaboration. Loops takes place during the Threads Textile Festival 2025 so take a look at the website to find out more about the other exhibitions, workshops and events taking place.
