nna Ray worked at Forbo Flooring Systems who produce commercial flooring across two sites in Lancashire to produce the Offcut series.

Working at the crossroads of data and drawing, Daksha Patel worked with Blackburn Yarn Dyers who provide yarn dyeing to clients worldwide from the heart of Lancashire.

Raisa Kabir is currently working with John Spencer Textiles and local communities in Burnley to create new textile pattern books and will present a performance at the mill.
