Brief 2023: Modern Mystics Arts and the Power of Colour 

In 2023, Hand & Lock ask you to consider belief, spiritualist and the mystic arts, and to “Interrogate your own experiences as an embroiderer paying attention to the mental, physical, psychological and spiritual state you enter as you create. Away from your own practice, question cultural beliefs and meditate on the role of textiles and embroidery in common rituals. Consider the emotional and symbolic power of colour and imagine your own emotionally and spiritually charged colour and material combinations”.
