About

From 28 January to 1 March, 'Threads Through the Bible' is coming to Bath for the first time.

Hosted across three Bath city churches, experience a breathtaking journey through the stories of creation, redemption and revelation in this remarkable exhibition by textile artist Jacqui Parkinson.

Featuring three monumental series - 'Threads Through Creation', 'Threads Through the Cross' and 'Threads Through Revelation' - this is one of the largest textile artworks ever created by a single artist.

Ten years in the making and composed of more than 25 million stitches across 44 panels, this extraordinary display celebrates both artistic devotion and the timeless message of the Bible.

Threads Through Creation at St Swithins

St Swithins is playing host to 'Threads through Creation' (displayed at Bath Abbey in early 2023), a stunning exhibition of twelve enormous, embroidered silk panels that explore the story of Creation.

Threads Through the Cross at Bath Abbey

At Bath Abbey, 'Threads Through the Cross' will be hosted, starting with the birth of Jesus, before taking the viewer through various scenes in his life, then the cross and resurrection, to Pentecost.

Threads Through Revelation at St Michael's

St Michael's will be hosting 'Threads Through Revelation', which is the last book in the Bible.
It describes the extraordinary visions of John on the island of Patmos in the first century.
