Friday 4 March - Sunday 27 March | E3 art space

Silk Inroads is a collaborative community project that explores the visual heritage of the ancient Silk Roads in contemporary needlepoint. More than 70 members of the local community have been working with needlepoint artist Natalie Fisher over recent months to create a body of stitched panels inspired by the beautiful tiles found in four countries along the Silk Roads: Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Iran and India.
