Cllr Martin Round, Chair of the Economic, Regeneration and Leisure Committee at Maidstone Borough Council has visited the exhibition and highly recommends a visit, he said;

“This exhibition is stunning, I was absolutely blown away by the high standard of work and the wide variety of artwork, it is amazing what can be achieved with fabric. I really would highly recommend a visit, you’ll have to be quick though as there are only a few days left, don’t miss it!”
