the typical commute is just what Transport for London

De Villeneuve to provide it. Her trademark felt tip design
celebrates 25 years of the British Fashion Council and
is available in various guises from TFL's new online shop

MARCH FORWARD!
Spring is tantalisingly close and each rare glimpse of sunshine
is enough to have us dreaming of light cotton frocks rather than
the layers of wool that have smothered us for months. Our latest
issue reflects this hopeful mood and features ways to make the most
of what we have. New subscribers and renewals with this issue will
receive a pretty Toast peg bag worth £10. www.selvedge.org.
Please note continuous subscriptions do not include
a gift, for full terms and conditions see website. |

Make
Mother's Day your excuse to pick up a treat. If you're looking for
a special gift our Sophie Digard accessories will send the right message.
Choose from a beautiful selection of hand crocheted scarves and necklaces
or make someone smile with one of her charming brooches. Sophie is
just one of the talented designers whose work we offer; see them all
at www.selvedge.org |
Material
Evidence brings together four textile artists who explore the world
around them through stitch, print, photography and drawing. Clare
Lane, Laura McCafferty, Caroline Kirton and Debbie Smyth will present
a range of current work alongside specially commissioned pieces
inspired by the local area. www.thebrindley.org.uk |

If
you're making plans for spring why not add learning something new
to the list? Willemien Stevens offers one-day workshops in applique
embroidery in her pretty home and studio in West Dorset. A graduate
of Windsor College of Art she is happy to share her skills with
beginners and experts alike. April-October, Morcombelake, Dorset

| We're
sure Selvedge readers are rarely touched by nylon sheets or acrylic
sweaters and therefore minimise their exposure to static electricity.
Nevertheless they might like to visit the Dana Centre at London's
Science Musuem for E-Static Shadows, a cross-disciplinary project
of art and science by Dr. Zane Berzina and architect Jackson Tan.
9-11 March, www.danacentre.org.uk |
