Cherish Our Heritage
Carrie Scott-Huby
At the Red Shed we're continuing our focus on Women of the Working Class, and welcome Carrie Scott-Huby as our featured artist for this month's Artwalk. Carrie's work is about bringing forward our textile heritage, particularly incorporating the skills of our female ancestors. Her works are created using recycled/upcycled and sustainable materials. Carrie will be available from 5pm, so come along early and chat about her art.
From 5pm to 6.45pm, you can also view our general display about Women of the Working Class, and a special feature on Anne Scargill, who sadly passed away in April.
