Wednesday 30 September, 6.30-7.45 p.m.: Talk, The Weavers of Spitalfields: In Conversation with Christopher Farr x Chris Dyson at Museum of the Home
Museum of the Home, 136 Kingsland Road, London E2 8EA
The Museum of the Home is the only museum in the world dedicated to exploring the meaning and experience of home. Housed within historic almshouses in East London, the museum examines how domestic life has evolved over the past four centuries through period interiors, everyday objects and contemporary displays. Through exhibitions, collections and public programmes, the museum invites visitors to consider how homes reflect changing ideas about family, identity, work, technology and community.
Event Description
Matthew Bourne, co-founder of Christopher Farr Design, and Chris Dyson join Museum of the Home's Echo Godfrey, Curatorial Officer, and Ailsa Hendry, Collections Manager, chaired by editor and crafts specialist Tamsin Blanchard.
This In Conversation event will discuss the inspiration behind the ‘Spitalfields’ Rug, a modern interpretation of an historic fragment of Huguenot silk tapestry, installed in the Museum’s 1690s period room as part of London Textile Month.
This contemporary design is a collaboration between rug experts Christopher Farr and local resident and architect Chris Dyson.
