Displaying work by artist Will Cruickshank alongside archive pieces relating to the former Celanese textile factory in Wrexham. A specially commissioned dance performance by students from Coleg Cambria was developed in collaboration with former workers from the factory.

Uptwist Downtwist uncovered and celebrated the significance of the Celanese Factory in Wrexham; the part it played in the lives of many local people, the fabrics that were produced and the friendships that were made.

This exhibition was curated to accompany the Crafts Council touring Exhibition ‘Julie Cope’s Grand Tour: The Story of a Life by Grayson Perry’
