Connecting Threads (together)
Connecting Threads (together) opens in University of California, Davis on 29th Sept and runs until 20th Nov 2026. It is the final iteration of the exhibition of my stitched artworks that originated at the Fashion Textile Museum in London in March 2025. Taking the work to California not only provides an international platform for these socially engaged textiles, it creates a opportunity to share ideas with a new generation of artists and designers at the University of California. In these troubled times the importance of working together is even more important.
My pioneering research in socially engaged textiles has involved thousands of people. If you would like to work with me, please get in touch at lynn@lynnsetterington.co.uk. I am interested in new commissions, delivering visual lectures about my research and running creative tactile workshops and working as a consultant.
My article in Garland, the international publication links to the exhibition and the September issue is now online.

I am delighted to be showing four small embroideries at Goosfest, an annual arts festival in Goostrey, Cheshire, from 23–25 September 2026. The festival brings together a diverse range of artists and creative practices across disciplines, celebrating the breadth and vibrancy of the local arts community.
