WASTE NOT WANT NOT Welcome to the first ever edition of the Selvedge newsletter, a free monthly update on all things fabric, fibre and fabulous. There is such a wealth of material that we could fill each issue of Selvedge twice over so this is our opportunity to tell you about the things that we couldn’t quite squeeze into the magazine because of time or space. You could think of it as the Selvedge rag bag from which we will draw scraps or gems we have saved for just the right moment...we’re thinking rich eclectic patchwork of interesting facts rather than shreads of useless information. Forward it to friends and feel free to contact us and contribute a link or idea enquiries@selvedge.org So the holidays are upon us and there is plenty to fill your sunny days and balmy evenings. Check out the V&A shop where the showcase exhibition presented in partnership with the Crafts Council profiles new work by renowned textile artists Shelly Goldsmith and Shizuko Kimura www.vam.ac.uk On the other side of the pond catch Tapestries, a collection of work by America’s leading contemporary artists ww.sullivangoss.com and New Embroidery: Not Your Grandma’s Doily, including twenty-one artists from North America and Iceland www.contemporarycrafts.org For textile buffs, The Manchester Metropolitan University Symposium: Migratory Practices, exchanges between anthropology, art, craft and design aims to bring together artists, makers and academics engaged in ethnographic study and cultural investigation ww.miriad.mmu.ac.uk/craftdesign The fashion moment of the summer could be the arrival of John Galliano’s second women’s ready-to-wear line. With a name that is simplicity itself inspiration has clearly been reserved for the clothes. www.johngalliano.com Iconic label Biba, the store that was as much a symbol of the Swinging Sixties as the Mini Cooper, is launching a fashion comeback. Look out for the first collection featuring a range of shoes and bags. |
