Andrew Warburton worked on a joint textile commission with BEAM and Woven in Kirklees for Creative Town Dewsbury in Market Place, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire UK.

Andrew Warburton is using textiles to draw attention to the increase of colossal icebergs, some the size of New York, breaking off from Antarctica in these ‘calving events’ as a result of climate change. The textile installation is intended to raise awareness about climate change and hopefully inspire people to make changes to lesson our impact on the environment.
