Join our community!
Community is at the heart of this exhibition project. Research and information networks are so important, as is passing on inherited knowledge. So much of textile learning is passed from generation to generation, and risks being lost or forgotten. Below, we have highlighted resources, further information, and other projects that help to sustain this legacy of learning.
The VofT Roundtable event ran on the 4th March 2022. It brought together artists and academics as well as community members to speak both about the objects in this exhibition and about the broader world of textile-making.
The entire event audio is available here. Transcripts of each speaker are also available at the links below.
Francesca Baseby providing context for the Suffragette Belt

Lottie Whalen, discussing women's textile work and the work of Hannah Ryggen
