The The Loving Earth Project celebrates people, places and creatures, things that we love, but which are threatened by growing environmental breakdown. The textile community project offers a way to help people engage creatively and constructively with the issues in a mindful and collaborative way. 


The Scottish Maritime Museum Dumbarton is hosting an exhibition of a selection of textile panels created by this ongoing global community project. These these touching and celebratory panels have been created by people worldwide, in countries including Scotland, France and Uganda. Sixty of the 500 textile panels create will go on display, The Loving Earth Project  will also have another selection on display in Glasgow during COP26.
