Socially engaged textiles
There’s been some great coverage of the missing quilts saga with the BBC both online and on BBC Radio Gloucester.
This is a fascinating talk by author of Connecting Threads, Lynn Setterington, given online on behalf of the International Quilt Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Home to the world's largest publicly held collection of quilts spanning five centuries and more than 55 countries to provide a scope of quilt making traditions past and present. It’s about 45 mins and a great insight into her work. You can read more detail in the book, available here.
Lynn will be exhibiting her work at the Fashion and Textile Museum, London as part of the show Textiles: The Art of Mankind, curated by Mary Schoeser, who wrote the foreword to Lynn’s book. We’re assuming that ‘mankind’ includes the rest of us too 😉.
