An afternoon of all things Textiles.  ” The Fabric of Life”

What a wonderful afternoon of talks and what an honor to be part of this excellent event. The event consisted of 4 speakers.  Mary Chadwick gave a most interesting talk entitled “Stitched Lives” looking at samplers from across Great Britain. Clare Holdsworth spoke about her experience of remaking items from her father’s clothing and Ruth Singer discussed her various works in “Stories in Cloth”. For my own talk I spoke about how I came to be passionate about textiles and the background to my two pieces on exhibitioin in the covide chronicale touring show. The event was well attended and promoted some lovely discussion on the links between, memory and making as well as mental wellness.
