■ Ruthin Craft Centre in Wales is a must-visit with a great lineup for 2023, starting with a chance to see Motive/Motif: Artists Commemorate the Suffragettes, in collaboration with Charlotte Hodes (14 Jan-16 Apr).Twenty renowned and emerging artists have been commissioned to create an image embroidered on a handkerchief to mark women’s suffrage and the passing of the 1918 Representation of the People Act. Also on show will be three banners created in Wales. Jeanette Orrell’s An Indigo Summer (22 Apr-2 Jul) is an evocatively named exhibition which explores how Japanese indigo dyeing helped the artist cope with loss. Jeanette’s daughter, Ellie Evelyn Orrell, has written a lyrical book of the same title detailing the story behind the work, recently published by University of Wales Press. Matthew Harris shows textiles which oscillate with colour, texture and rhythm (8 Jul-late Sep), while the delayed but much-anticipated Laura Thomas: Weave will explore unconventional textiles for contemporary spaces (Oct 23-Jan 24).
■ THE YEAR AHEAD is packed with exciting exhibitions, so grab a cuppa and we’ll conduct a flying tour of some of the highlights. Expect visual puns and bawdy humour as Tate Britain presents the work of Sarah Lucas (26 Sep-14 Jan), one of the Young British Artists of the 1990s. Using ordinary objects in unexpected ways, she challenges our understanding of sex, class and gender. Pauline Bunny, 1997, saw Lucas stuff variously coloured pairs of tights with cotton wadding to make ‘bunny girl’ forms.The female forms were originally arranged around a snooker table, their passively lolling legs representing femininity, in thrall to the male arena.
