WC Curated: January Showcase: Circuits of Connection

As we step into a new year, WC Curated turns its attention to the loops, tangles, and networks that connect us.

The January theme, Circuits of Connection, invites textile artists to explore the ways threads - literal and metaphorical - carry energy, memory, and meaning between people, places, and materials.

Think of tangled cords, woven networks, overloaded systems, or the quiet power of a single line linking one thing to another. This showcase asks: What does connection look like in cloth?

Nine selected artists will be featured at the end of January on Instagram @weavercreature and in the permanent WC Curated archive on my website.

This ongoing digital platform is building towards a magazine and eventual gallery exhibition, bringing textile conversations into both digital and physical spaces.

Selected artists will be promoted on @weavercreature’s Instagram (3k+ followers and quickly growing), which includes followers such as renowned textile artists (including Ann Richards) and institutions like the Royal College of Art.

Posts consistently receive high engagement, averaging 200+ likes and 15 comments across recent content.

In addition, work will be showcased on the Weaver Creature website (www.weavercreature.com), which attracts an international audience of makers, curators, and textile enthusiasts.
