Living with Machines: Dobby loom demonstration

Visit the latest exhibition, Living with Machines: human stories from the industrial age, and see regular live loom demonstrations with Agnis Smallwood.

Agnis is a local weaver and educator, based at Sunny Bank Mills in Farsley. Agnis will explain how the dobby loom works to create beautiful weaved cloth using a traditional machine.

Visitors will be immersed in the sight and sounds of a working loom, seeing the process of weaving and how patterned cloth is created.

Agnis will be creating a bespoke piece of material for the museum which you will be able to see develop over the course of the exhibition.
