UNFOLDING CLOTH: INSPIRATION FROM HISTORICAL TEXTILES (HB)

Textile artist and tutor Hannah Lamb frequently uses old fabrics: age-worn cotton and linen sheets, delicate lace collars, vintage patchwork, and snippets of colourful printed silk. Here she explores creative ways to incorporate historical textiles into your own work, from first conception and initial research to the finished piece. Find out how to source materials, design and plan your work, and combine old and sometimes fragile textiles with newer fabrics to make cohesive and beautiful pieces that tell powerful stories. Includes examples of contemporary artworks.
