Thursday 11 September, 2-3 p.m.: Tours: Textiles through time with Echo Godfrey at the Museum Of The Home - SOLD OUT
TICKETS TO THIS EVENT ARE NOW SOLD OUT
Museum of the Home, 136 Kingsland Road, London E2 8EA
This guided tour tells the story of textiles through time and how they influenced the ways we have lived from the 1600s to the present day and beyond. Through period rooms and collection displays, participants will explore the history of textiles in the home through fabrics, soft furnishings, and the stories they tell about craft, industry, global trade and the role textiles have played in advancing technology. From craftspeople working from home to high-end British design, this tour aims to illuminate the often-overlooked history of textiles, the people who make them and the influence of textiles on daily life.
