She was a contributor to Silk: Fiber, Fabric, and Fashion (Thames & Hudson).
Event Description
Discover the world through threads! Join us for an inspiring object viewing and discussion at the Goldsmiths Textiles Collection, where fabric becomes a passport to global culture, innovation, and artistry. This event promises a rich tapestry of stories and styles. Engage in a vibrant exploration of how textiles shape identity, tradition, and the future of design.
Celebrate the history of the collection with this intimate event, offering visitors a chance to explore the College’s extraordinary archive of textile works, ranging from historical pieces and global garments to experimental samples by past students and tutors, including Constance Howard and Audrey Walker. This internationally significant collection is a living resource that continues to spark research, making, and new ideas across the textile field.
Whether you're a maker, a scholar, or simply a lover of beautiful things, this is your chance to see textiles in a new light - tactile, powerful, and deeply connected to global narratives.
