'Blanket Coverage' - now extended to 10th April 2021

Well, it has been something of a rollercoaster with the Blanket Coverage exhibition at Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre. It opened as planned at the end of November, and we had a great first week with a steady flow of visitors and sales. Then we had to close for just over a week when ‘indoor entertainment venues’ had to shut as part of covid restrictions in Wales…. then we reopened, and then finally as many of you will be aware there was a very sudden lockdown announced in Wales on the 19th December.

We’re now very mindful that we’ll probably be closed for a few weeks as we all hope that the number of covid cases start to fall. But to mitigate against this closure I’m really pleased to let you know we are now extending the exhibition to the 10th April.

Whilst closed we plan to publish some interviews with the exhibiting designers and artists on our social media channels during January - so please keep an eye on @llantarnam_grange and @laurathomastextiles on Instagram and Facebook. I’ll post info here as well in due course.

In the meantime, you can see me being interviewed by Liz Cooper of Design Nation talking about the all the exhibitors…..
