Support

"We believe that the resource to be provided by the Embroiderers' Guild in Manchester will be valuable for both our undergraduates and postgraduate students generally, but most particularly for our embroidery students."

Dame Alexandra V. Burslem, DBE JP BA FRSA, Vice-Chancellor, Manchester Metropolitan University.

"We see many opportunities to form productive links between the Guild and our own collection of costume which has been designated as being of national pre-eminence."

Moira Stevenson, Deputy Director, City Art Galleries, Manchester City Council.

"...an initiative which we wholeheartedly support and welcome. It brings to the city another nationally significant textile and educational resource. The status of the collection and the services provided by the Guild in terms of study facilities, workshops, artists-in-residence and temporary exhibitions will add to the critical mass of textile activity within the city and region..."

Dr Jennifer Harris, Deputy Director and Curator of Textiles, The Whitworth Art Gallery.

"The Embroiderers' Guild will add an important new dimension to the cultural life of the city, and I look forward to working with you and your colleagues to make it a reality."
