Image shows panel from Threads Through Revelation
From 28th January to 1st March, 'Threads Through the Bible' is coming to Bath for the first time.
Hosted across three Bath city churches, experience a breathtaking journey through the stories of creation, redemption and revelation in this remarkable exhibition by textile artist Jacqui Parkinson.
Featuring three monumental series - 'Threads Through Creation', 'Threads Through the Cross' and 'Threads Through Revelation' - this is one of the largest textile artworks ever created by a single artist.
Ten years in the making and composed of more than 25 million stitches across 44 panels, this extraordinary display celebrates both artistic devotion and the timeless message of the Bible.
A beautifully designed map will be available from all 3 churches to help direct visitors wishing to explore all the sequences.
A range of stunning merchandise including guidebooks, prints and pieces of original textile work will be available in the Bath Abbey Shop, with a small selection of items also available at the other churches.
We look forward to welcoming you.
At St. Michael’s Without we will host Threads Through Revelation - a textile journey through the last book of the Bible, describing the extraordinary visions of the disciple John during his time on Patmos.
Full of strange images and ideas it has inspired and challenged artists over centuries - not to mention Christians!
Our church building is open Monday to Saturday 9.30am to 3.30pm and we also have a cafe so you can enjoy coffee and cake while taking in the panels surrounding you. On Sundays we are open for services at 9.30am and 10.45am - including a time for coffee at 10.15am. Visitors are always welcome and some of our sermons during this time will focus on Revelation - with the ultimate visual aid! (Please note Sundays are for services only, not for general viewing of the exhibition).
