Meet the artists – Swifts over Walthamstow

Join us to Meet the Artists for our new exhibition, Swifts over Walthamstow.

The Urban Swifts knitted project has landed back at the Mill before flying on to care homes across the borough. Initiated and developed by residents local to the Walthamstow Wetlands at Waterside, designed and led by textile artist Deirdre Nelson and knitted by the community of knitters at The Mill, Coppermill Lane.

300 pictures of the 1000Swifts trail that developed from Urban Swifts and spread across Walthamstow linking 3,100 makers in the community with the plight of the urban Swift. Come and see if your Swift is amongst them.

Visit Deirdre Nelson’s caravan, an exhibition of her Wetland residency last summer inspired by both William Morris and nature and life in the Wetlands – digging ever deeper into our relationship with the earth. The caravan will be parked outside The Mill and open for tea!
