Threads through Creation


  • Sheffield Cathedral Church Street Sheffield S1 1HA (map)

A stunning twelve piece exhibition expressing God’s love for us all will fill the Cathedral with eight million stiches.

Threads through Creation is a spectacular sequence of twelve huge textile panels. It’s an exuberant retelling of the creation story in the book of Genesis, a retelling which many visitors will find both moving and breathtaking. Viewers are treated to a wonderful variety of colours, shapes, patterns – and of course lots of creatures!

The exhibition is one of the largest textile projects by a single artist, ever. It has taken Jacqui nearly three years. It follows on from ‘Threads through Revelation’, her first huge exhibition which visited 14 cathedrals from 2016 to 2018, and was seen by more than 500,000 visitors.

Threads through Creation is touring cathedrals throughout 2023 and 2024. If your school or community group would like to visit there is a free teacher PDF guide to download here and our guides will be on hand to give walking tours throughout the exhibition. There will also be craft activities to engage little ones in their learning about God’s creations.
