Annie Garnett's Spinnery, textiles and garden
Annie Garnett (1864 - 1942) was a formidable local designer and entrepreneur whose textiles influenced the revival of hand spinning and weaving in the Lake District. She had a keen sense of colour inspired by the flowers in her garden and landscape of the Lake District.
A talented designer and keen businesswoman, Annie established and managed a Spinnery in Windermere, which produced beautiful textiles using traditional methods.
New research portrays Annie as key figure in the Arts & Crafts movement. The current exhibition at the Arts & Crafts House Blackwell showcases the treasures of the Annie Garnett Archive, held at the Museum of Lakeland Life & Industry, and tells Annie’s story through her own possessions and words.
Rare autochromes, photographs, diary entries, personal objects and textiles combine to give a real sense of Annie Garnett and The Spinnery.
This show has been co-curated with Professor David Ingram.
