A soundscape experience in an eerily abandoned ballroom, the full-bodied embrace of a wallpaper mill’s colour capabilities, a cardboard cinema and the procession of tons of industrial machinery are all set to feature in the second year of Art In Manufacturing, returning to The National Festival of Making in Blackburn, Lancashire between Sat 12 – Sun 13 May 2018.

Placing the heritage tools, materials and expertise of a diverse range of companies into the hands of seven, specially-commissioned artists, each will take up residency on the factory floor of busy manufacturers to create ambitious new works of art.
