Macc-Pow! Presents 'The Archipelagogo' an exhibition by Felt Mistress

Opens on Wednesday 15th May 2024 (10am) at the Silk Museum in Macclesfield. FREE ENTRY!

After the success of the Amazing Fantasy SPIDER-MAN exhibition earlier this year, we're excited to be bringing yet another amazing exhibition to the Silk Museum, and Macclesfield, this time featuring the unique work of the Felt Mistress.

Archipelagogo is an exhibition featuring 3D soft sculptures inspired by the life work and creativity of Tove Jansson created by the artist Felt Mistress - Louise Evans and Jonathan Edwards.

Rather than take inspiration purely from Jansson's most famous creations, The Moomins, the exhibition is instead inspired by the things that inspired Jansson herself – art, love, family, travel, and the geography of her native Finland.

The exhibition was initially commissioned by the Lakes International Comic Art Festival and The Finnish Institute in London with the blessing of the Jansson family.

We're incredibly excited to be showcasing these incredible sculptures at the Silk Museum and in Macclesfield. Felt Mistress has been exhibited all over the world including shows in Tokyo, Osaka, Los Angeles, Mexico, Paris, Berlin, and London. Their work has been used in fashion shoots, ad campaigns, music videos and films.

So make sure you check out these beautifully crafted characters in amongst the museum collections over this next month, it's not to be missed!

This awesome event is supported by Macclesfield Town Council
