Day’s work

To celebrate the centenary of the birth of British textile designer Lucienne Day (1917-2010), the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester is hosting an exhibition of her work Lucienne Day: A Sense of Growth. Although well known for her abstract designs, Day was an enthusiastic gardener who used plants in many of her patterns, including her famous Bouquet Garni tea towel (above). The exhibition is part of the gallery’s GROW project that aims to promote better mental health through engaging with gardens and horticulture. Until 16 July. whitworth.manchester.ac.uk
