Holly Kirby, an assistant curator with the National Trust, was dressed in a wonderful Regency-style outfit she had made herself. In the morning, she delivered a thought-provoking and informative talk about caring in sustainable ways for the historic costume collection at Attingham Park in Shropshire. Holly explained how the natural laundering techniques of the past continued to be employed, as they were less harsh on delicate fabrics than modern commercial laundry products. Holly also described how garments were repaired and stored, not only by museum staff today, but by the family and servants at Attingham Park in the past. Clothes were once treasured and preserved, a far cry from the cheap, mass-produced clothing culture today. Holly's talk was followed by a general discussion, where participants shared their own approaches to sustainable clothing, some people bringing in garments they had made themselves and had repaired and preserved.</span></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">In the afternoon, Dr Rebecca Collins, of the Pop-Up Patch and Repair Challenge Team, set up a repair workshop where participants were shown how to do simple garment repairs.

surnames <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Textile production has had a significant impact on English
history and culture in a number of different ways. For example, we can see in
the grand residences of the Cotswolds the way in which the industry generated
wealth for the area in the Middle English and Early Modern English periods. These
markers of the industry’s influence are often clear to see, yet there are other
ways in which England’s textile-related history has had an effect on the
country’s identity that often go unrecognised, such as the development of its
names. By studying the frequency and etymology of some of the more common
surnames in England, the importance of textile production is further revealed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Three of the 100 most frequent surnames in the 1881 census
have a clear connection to wool, textiles and clothing. These are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Taylor</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Walker </i>(from Middle English <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">walker
</i>‘a fuller of cloth’), and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Webb </i>(from
Middle English <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">webbe </i>‘weaver’). We
could also add to this list the names <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Miller
</i>and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mills</i>, which may have
originally been used to refer to someone who worked at a fulling mill (though
the names may also have been for used for people who worked at different types
of mill, unrelated to textile production). Five out of 100 names may not seem
like a lot, but it’s important to put this figure in context. Out of this list
of 100 surnames, 19 names relate to an occupation of some sort. This means that
five out of 19 surnames in this list, or just over 26% of the most common
occupational names, relate to textile processing and production.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Beyond these broad patterns of occupational surname
frequency, we can also use surnames which have some relation to wool and
textiles to understand other aspects of English identity, such as our dialects
and their distribution. As such names are relatively common, due to the
continued importance of the textile trade in England, they provide a suitable
amount of data for drawing conclusions on dialect usage. The surname <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Walker </i>(mentioned above) would
originally have been applied to a fuller of cloth, but there are two other
surnames with the same meaning: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tucker </i>and
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fuller</i>. These three surnames have,
and have had, different regional distributions, as shown in the maps below
adapted from 1881 census data (these maps are generated using Steve Archer’s
1881 surname atlas – see <a href="http://www.archersoftware.co.uk/satlas01.htm">http://www.archersoftware.co.uk/satlas01.htm</a>).
We can see that the surname <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fuller </i>is
more heavily associated with the south-east, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tucker </i>is associated with the south-west, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Walker </i>is more widespread (though with a significant concentration
in the north of England and the West Midlands). The distribution of these names
reflect the regional usage of the terms <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">full</i>,
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">tuck</i>, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">walk </i>to refer to fulling mills. This usage can also be seen in
English place-names; see <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tuckingmill </i>near
Zeal Monachorum in Devon, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Walk Mill </i>near
Burnley in Lancashire, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fulling Mill
Farm </i>near Ardingly in Sussex.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGXabAxudW4CWTNzP8VkPM8dA8whzbn879qOHsOL42t1fLb0rsf3c-WLzxlIjFklHIFMhc03j5d_X5KL23yJDfTBJZqQzZwqnkmlsKaCLgbMJkq4V-bek9yX0lgEDD57-zyR8c3kaQ8gGysiJNwIhitKNaUkOvzUtB9uwvCIBHWG40sW6wRT-R7A4a/s500/Fuller.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGXabAxudW4CWTNzP8VkPM8dA8whzbn879qOHsOL42t1fLb0rsf3c-WLzxlIjFklHIFMhc03j5d_X5KL23yJDfTBJZqQzZwqnkmlsKaCLgbMJkq4V-bek9yX0lgEDD57-zyR8c3kaQ8gGysiJNwIhitKNaUkOvzUtB9uwvCIBHWG40sW6wRT-R7A4a/s320/Fuller.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJJrpQ3hipvFJhhIynVU4MmzbKNgIRktiythvm_oxzjOgQWN9jMfrvb2X0brPuKUH0lP671Ajjfo88dXIeFU9AEt12cyE4rozUxMh-gcCA81uB-Z31ERKUOJ6XVc4R1AG3zwWf7Cqje6PqJPNlXsHvs8_dGt-T22lXSXhDDwQI07Qni5CuZGShsFmt/s500/Tucker.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJJrpQ3hipvFJhhIynVU4MmzbKNgIRktiythvm_oxzjOgQWN9jMfrvb2X0brPuKUH0lP671Ajjfo88dXIeFU9AEt12cyE4rozUxMh-gcCA81uB-Z31ERKUOJ6XVc4R1AG3zwWf7Cqje6PqJPNlXsHvs8_dGt-T22lXSXhDDwQI07Qni5CuZGShsFmt/s320/Tucker.png" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju3RhO6r6XezXt_9ul-4ZeEx8IHoqwKhTDalhMQJxMuKW4M19H-Tt2xeQxj8LDvacPqARKWFcaqGYPRneFsCDnVYc-PoSpYfMgbCfnWce6Doxoi6kWH91QM6u-qm802Li86frTssVAva--ba6WlpvzhZxstKZymTScD7Q8c2ms0ZLSsTHFpOX8IJB_/s500/Walker.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju3RhO6r6XezXt_9ul-4ZeEx8IHoqwKhTDalhMQJxMuKW4M19H-Tt2xeQxj8LDvacPqARKWFcaqGYPRneFsCDnVYc-PoSpYfMgbCfnWce6Doxoi6kWH91QM6u-qm802Li86frTssVAva--ba6WlpvzhZxstKZymTScD7Q8c2ms0ZLSsTHFpOX8IJB_/s320/Walker.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this way, the textile-related surnames of England don’t
just reflect the influence of the trade on the country’s identity, but also
reveal details of the different dialect terms used in the trade. While this
exemplifies the power of surnames as a source of linguistic information, it
also demonstrates that the textile industry has been so important that it has
had a significant impact well beyond the bounds of the industry itself,
affecting our names and language in such a way that the effects can still be
seen in the frequency and distribution of our surnames today.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>by Dr Harry Parkin, Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at the University of Chester</b></p>Professor Deborah Wynnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623197396906403027noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753455712855966409.post-42618824852201973742022-02-22T11:35:00.000+00:002022-02-22T11:35:08.410+00:00Fashion Sketches Discovered at Attingham Park. <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgp1j9rmAMHZoQuaITzkU9rB8n6UJLdjZJ17cLkXLYm-QDwD_Ogxi1FRkoDvltvgKCnOm3FQpKuZFASPmFntOcJqacQUwf-4QcfxSSUggsnh0gxWzViaGfiIGQu2f0gHo5M65c4hxJKi8tPF-Ija75-toV95wn2Uez9osBnTPoTtoamQ5t_MKZEsBtc=s1589" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="909" data-original-width="1589" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgp1j9rmAMHZoQuaITzkU9rB8n6UJLdjZJ17cLkXLYm-QDwD_Ogxi1FRkoDvltvgKCnOm3FQpKuZFASPmFntOcJqacQUwf-4QcfxSSUggsnh0gxWzViaGfiIGQu2f0gHo5M65c4hxJKi8tPF-Ija75-toV95wn2Uez9osBnTPoTtoamQ5t_MKZEsBtc=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p></p><p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Recently, a fascinating
selection of historic fashion sketches were discovered at Attingham
Park. Whilst undertaking inventory checking work in the textile collection
store in 2018, a National Trust volunteer found this collection of sketches
tucked inside an unassuming historic envelope. These sketches were created by
Teresa Hulton, later the 8th Lady Berwick, between the ages of 11 and 15. Born
in 1890, Teresa created the sketches in the early part of the 20<sup>th</sup> century.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The sketches are a valuable resource showing what activities and
interests wealthy teenage girls enjoyed at the time. They show family, friends,
ladies’ maids, seamstresses, and outfits seen in operas and plays. Some gowns
appearing to be outfits that survive in the Attingham collection, like the
striped dress Teresa depicts her mother wearing.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">In different mediums from ink to pastel, some sketches have been drawn
on whatever paper Teresa had to hand, like her grandmother’s address card. Some
of the sketches have been meticulously cut around to give a 3D effect. Pin
holes in some of the sketches suggest they were displayed. Other pictures seen
in Teresa's letters to her friends show she used her illustrations as modern
teenage girls might do with photographs – sharing images of outfits admired at
parties or picnics. In a letter to a friend, she says how she loved to sketch
her mother in her evening dresses before she left for soirees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Teresa’s father, the artist William Stokes Hulton, encouraged his
daughters to take an interest in art. William Stokes Hulton was friends with
influential artists like John Singer Sargent and Walter Sickert. Sickert helped
Teresa and her sister, Gioconda, with their own artistic efforts and the girls
sent him their drawings to be commented on. Whilst Gioconda was the one who
developed a real passion for art, Teresa primarily enjoyed creating beautiful
fashion sketches.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Teresa’s interest in fashion paved the way for her future as a
fashionable society beauty featuring in the ‘Vogue’ and ‘Tatler’ magazines. She
also made her own dresses and enjoyed attending fancy dress parties in
historical costumes and outfits from different countries – ideas suggested by
the more fanciful of her sketches.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Holly Kirby (assistant curator,

font-size: medium;">This is one of the ‘Little Books’ created by Charlotte Brontë
in 1830 when she was 14 years old, an edition of <i>The Young Men’s Magazine </i>which
she and her brother Branwell regularly produced from 1829 onwards. The size of
a matchbox, it was recently bought at auction by the Brontë Parsonage Museum
for £500,000. Its tiny size and neat but cramped handwriting charmingly suggest
the miniature worlds of childhood. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><o:p> </o:p>Yet this homemade book conceals hidden stories. The paper on
which Charlotte wrote her magazine was scavenged; perhaps it came from a
discarded sugar bag in the kitchen of Haworth Parsonage, or from an
advertisement which had been thrown away. However, if we look beyond
Charlotte’s text, hidden within the roughly cut paper pages are irretrievable
stories we can only imagine, for until the 1870s paper was manufactured from
textile waste. The threads from a clergyman’s surplice or a fine lady’s chemise
may perhaps be mingled with the rags worn by a beggar in the paper sewn by
Charlotte for her little book.<span style="color: windowtext;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Indeed, c<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">loth
made strange journeys through Victorian society, when a fine lady’s dress would
be passed on to many owners via the second-hand clothing trade, until it eventually
ended up as a servant’s duster, or the rags worn by a beggar. At the very end
of this journey, rags </span>were collected for recycling into paper. Textile recycling
for the Victorians was a major industry, with many of the urban poor making a
living from collecting rags and selling them to dealers who traded with the
owners of paper mills, where the textile waste was manufactured into paper. <o:p></o:p></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SnYgJQtjqQU/YJfu0QxIYMI/AAAAAAAABXM/Q0q5V8j3FVoO1XigSIG0HyAraEGN6GpXACNcBGAsYHQ/s449/Paper_mill-Surry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="333" data-original-width="449" height="284" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SnYgJQtjqQU/YJfu0QxIYMI/AAAAAAAABXM/Q0q5V8j3FVoO1XigSIG0HyAraEGN6GpXACNcBGAsYHQ/w383-h284/Paper_mill-Surry.jpg" width="383" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Source:

Haworth seems far removed from the experiences of street children in the
cities, when many orphans and abandoned children in the early nineteenth
century made their living from collecting rags. However, the paper on which she
wrote her text offers a link between the rural parson’s daughter and the abandoned
street child in the city. The work of the rag-picker was vital to the work of
the writer, for paper before 1870 could only be manufactured from rags.</span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We might wonder why the Brontë children didn’t just ask their
father to buy paper for them. The reason is that paper from textile waste was
both very expensive to manufacture and subject to the Paper Tax, whereby a levy
was imposed on all paper made in Britain until 1860. Recycling, for the
Victorians, was not done to save the planet (as it is today), but to save
money, a thriftiness which was practised by all but the wealthy. The Victorian
writer, Harriet Martineau, wrote in <i>Household
Words </i>in 1854 that rags were ‘precious tatters’ and that everyone should
keep a ‘rag bag’ in their home to give to the rag-and-bone collectors who
visited every street.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">It is likely that Charlotte was aware that the scraps of
paper she salvaged for her little book came from rags. Perhaps she fantasised
that the shirt of her hero, the Duke of Wellington, had played a part in its
construction? Certainly, the stories that she and Branwell created as children
turn upon fantastic transformations and improbable happenings, and the journey
from rags to paper was often described as magical. One imaginative child’s
story written in 1830, and now a valuable museum object, was inscribed upon an
object brought about through the labour of many illiterate and exploited
children.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">As well as the stories that Charlotte wrote, there are the
hidden stories contained within the paper of this little book. As well as
vulnerable child ragpickers scavenging for cloth on the streets, further back
than that were the children employed in cotton mills and woollen mills, who
worked in dangerous conditions picking fluff from beneath the moving machinery.
Further back still, there may have been the children of slave workers in the
Southern States of America, helping adults to pick cotton. The labour of all
these children is now silently embedded in the sheets of paper on which texts
before the 1870s were written. After 1870, manufacturers in the United States
discovered a way of manufacturing cheap paper from wood-pulp, and expensive ‘rag-paper’
declined. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

This blog post will discuss how some women overcame these restrictions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Dorothy Wordsworth walked every day around the Lake District with her brother William and their friends, and then wrote about these walks in her journals. Dorothy and her friend Mary Barker were the first women to both climb and write about Scafell Pike. This walk was re-enacted in period dress by Dr Jo Taylor, Alex Jakob-Whitworth and Harriet Fraser in 2018 (exactly 200 years after Dorothy). I have been in contact with Dr Taylor from the University of Manchester as I was interested to discover how restrictive she found the period costume to be. Did it hinder her walking in any way? She told me: ‘<i>We got caught in a storm that day on Scafell…The men, whose historical clothes were much more closely related to modern walking gear, wanted to go on – but wearing a long skirt is like wearing a kite; the women were being picked up, and it felt pretty hairy at some points to be blown quite significantly around the paths along some of the ridges.</i>’ </span><br />

<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Corsets were another item of clothing which women wore and which restricted their movement. Figure 1 shows an advert for an ‘Athletic Girl Corset’. The development of special clothing for sport was an area of controversy as a passive lifestyle for women was seen to be more genteel. The design of female clothing was confining as rapid motion, ample waists and the raising of arms above the head were considered unfeminine so sleeves were cut to inhibit movement, corsets became tighter and petticoats more voluminous. Women’s clothing usually made them unable to engage in any activity more rigorous than a sedate stroll. So-called ‘walking dresses’ were part of a lady’s wardrobe from early nineteenth century, but their design permitted only the most leisurely of paces. In the mid-nineteenth-century, when outdoor exercise began to be more popular, women still wore ordinary clothing that interfered badly with their freedom of movement.</span><br />

<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">In the early 1850s, Amelia Bloomer tried to persuade women that beauty and utility in dress were not incompatible, and to adopt a form of Turkish trousers worn beneath a knee-length skirt (Figure 2). The bloomer costume was far too revolutionary for the time and the few brave women who wore them in public were ridiculed. The wire cage and crinoline introduced in the mid-1850s made walking in long skirts easier but expanding circumferences, sometimes to as much as 5 yards, impeded ease of motion. Dr Taylor experienced this problem first-hand on her re-enactment walk. The dresses of the 1870s and 1880s, with tied-back skirts and bustles, had smaller circumferences, but also a train that swept the ground and leg-of-mutton sleeves that restricted arm movement. In the 1890s, although daytime clothing was reduced in weight and complexity, ordinary skirts remained long, and ‘sensible’ walking outfits were 3.5 yards wide and hung to the ankle.</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">1</span><span style="font-size: large;"> During the Edwardian years, the reaction against the New Woman and her unconventional attitudes produced one of the most restrictive fashions of all time, the hobble skirt, whose exaggerated narrowness at the knee barely permitted a single step and more than offset the advantage of a slightly raised hemline (Figure 3).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One of the famous advocates for reform in women’s dress was Ada Ballin. She attacked ‘outmoded’ and ‘tyrannical’ ideas about dress.</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">2</span><span style="font-size: large;"> In relating health to dress and physical exercise she recounted the story of: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<i>a Gentleman of scientific frame of mind, who determined to make the experiment of walking in petticoats in order to estimate the disadvantage under which women labored in regard to dress. He walked for a mile up a hill; but was so exhausted by the endeavor that he gave up with the remark that women must be stronger than men or they would never be able to stand it.</i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">3</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another advocate for dress reform was Martina Bergman-Österberg. She was a Swedish-born physical education instructor and women’s suffrage advocate. She advised against corsets and required functional dress for ordinary wear and exercise and advocated the wearing of gymslips for sport. Old students recalled that when going to matches they were called ‘those dreadful girls’ by ‘men who don’t know how troublesome skirts are and by women who don’t know how delicious it is to be free of them’.</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">4</span><br />

<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">But what about when they got older and wanted to play sport professionally and in a public arena? Many women were successful mountaineers, but as this is a physical activity it must have been very difficult to participate in long, heavy dresses. For those who chose to wear dresses to climb, there were a range of possible skirt-related incidents to bear in mind. The Matterhorn’s Col Felicité was named after Felicité Carrel whose 1867 attempt at the summit with her father was thwarted when her skirts ballooned in the wind and it was too dangerous to go on. This is similar to the problems that Dr Taylor encountered on Scafell Pike. A common compromise was to wear a skirt or dress when leaving the hotel, then rip it off at the base of the mountain and climb in more sensible clothing. One woman who did just that was the Irish pioneer of mountaineering, Lizzie Le Blond (1860-1934). She set off on a traverse of the Rothorn, came down the other side and realized that her skirt was still on the summit. As the Alpine Club did not admit women members, she formed the Ladies’ Alpine Club in 1907. She moved to Switzerland, wrote seven books on mountaineering and made twenty first ascents, conquering peaks no one had climbed before. Abandoning mid-1880s convention, she was often known to climb in trousers. The Second President of Ladies’ Alpine Club was Lucy Walker. She was a British mountaineer and the first women to climb the Matterhorn – she was wearing a white print dress (Figure 4). Fanny Bullock Workman was an American mountaineer who climbed mainly in the Himalayas. She wore skirts whilst cycling thousands of miles across Europe and Asia, climbing peaks and negotiating crevasses. The photo shows her on Silver Throne Plateau (21,000 feet) holding a ‘Votes for Women’ newspaper (Figure 5). This clearly shows the link between walking and women’s independence.</span><br />

<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Clothing has often hindered women’s freedom to exercise how they choose. Dress has restricted both women’s physical and social freedoms. By throwing off their corsets and finding more comfortable clothes to walk in, women had gained the independence to express themselves more freely in society.</span><br />

importance of such shops in Victorian communities. One sister manages the shop,
while the other sister runs away to Paris. Lots of references to clothing and
fabric in a novel which is a masterpiece.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

concerns a group of schoolgirls who visit an enigmatic local landmark, the
Hanging Rock. Some of the girls are mysteriously ‘lost’ and if you are
interested in the history of clothing and its cultural significance, then this
novel offers a fascinating read. There are wonderful images of girls freeing
themselves of their corsets as they climb.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

date. He certainly has brought his clever wit to the work, but so far I
am in the early chapters so I will have to see how it progresses. I feel
at the minute it centres on Emma and Isabella before the Austen story
starts. Other than that, I have lots of books to reread on my shelves and
some that have been unread and really I should put my head into some French
literature and exercise my brain, but not Proust. Marcel Pagnol is nice

Last autumn I went to Blists Hill and saw a blanket that
gave me some inspiration as a change to the knitted square blankets I had been
making for the dementia ward at the hospital. So, I started knitting diamonds
as opposed to squares. They don't take very long, use up any left-over wool
(even tiny bits long enough to do a couple of rows) and when stitched together
look kind of quilted. </div>

I join them into bigger diamonds of 9, which makes sure
that the colours can be very random, and also makes it easier to put them
together. When it comes to the edge, as you can see in the bottom right hand
corner, I am finishing it off with black triangles to make it a regular
rectangle shape. Just in case it helps, I use Size 4 needles, knit in rib,
increase up to a 25 stitches, then start decreasing. I think it is the
rib that makes it look as if it is quilted. Very much a work in progress, and
will be for some time. Most of the wool comes from charity shops, so it
is a win win situation. My fingers are busy, and the charity shops benefit.<o:p></o:p></div>

I have been keeping myself happily occupied with working on the small pieces
and research for my Attingham Park four panelled screen and my family piece
called ‘DNA’. Unfortunately, the screen itself, which is in progress and
already has some applied pieces on, is down at my studio. My last outing too
Attingham was with the Friends of the the Flaxmill in March just before
everything shut down which has given me some more inspiration to work from.<o:p></o:p><br />

The ‘DNA’ piece is based on my own family members that share my DNA. I have
been drawing family members past and present in a sketchbook, transferring the
images onto fabric which is then stitched with my hair. I have been saving my
hair for this project for some time. This week I have been stitching the
manipulated pieced silk bases which they will be applied to. I have a very
large family with some interesting stories. My cousin has been doing research
into our family tree and I have the family albums here fortunately to work
from. <o:p></o:p><br />

I wonder how
far I will get with my project. I have started to work on a tapestry cushion cover for my first
grandson to mark his birth - ….4 years ago??!! I have had some design
help from my very talented sister (thank you Hester) and am doing William the
Whale squirting his friend Huffin the Puffin, the intention being to use his
initials W and P as a sort of rebus. I think it was a device the Tudors
liked. Fortunately I went to Abakhan to buy more wool before
they closed for the time being. So far only William and Huffin are
stitched. I want to do Holly the Honeybee on a poppy for my grand
daughter I wonder how old she will be when it is finished??<span style="color: #1f497d;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Holly Kirby, a National Trust curator at Attingham Park, has
kindly explained what essential work is currently being done in the House during the Covid-19 closures.
Usually, the Easter period is a very busy one at Attingham Park, but at the moment
Holly works alone in large empty rooms protecting the textiles. </div>

We have been cutting down on the number of staff in on any
one day and working a distance apart to minimise the risk of the virus
spreading. We are fortunate that Attingham is large enough that we can easily
find separate areas to work in! My typical week involves 2-3 days taking care
of the collection at Attingham and the rest of my work is done from home.<o:p></o:p></div>

Then we cover each item to protect it from dust whilst we
are closed. It brought back memories getting out the gingham dust sheets and
making acid-free paper ‘hats’ to cover collection items. Last time we did this
was in 2012. As we’ve been open longer in winter it hasn’t been necessary to
close the house down properly for a while. Many of the gingham covers have been
specially shaped to fit specific items of furniture and when they’re in place
it looks like everything has been spread with jolly picnic cloths! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There was considerable excitement at Wrexham Museum on 29th February 2020 when people gathered for a unique occasion. The
purpose of the event was to reveal some of the costumes which had been bequeathed to the
museum in the 1980s but which had never been on display. Hidden Stories from a Costume Collection’ was co-organised by Professor Deborah Wynne, Wrexham
Museum and the costumier and fashion designer Ruth Caswell. The day began with Deborah interviewing Ruth
about her long career as a designer and costumier, focusing on her work in <i>Vogue</i> and the costumes she created for
the films <i>Elizabeth</i>, <i>Elizabeth: the Golden Age</i>, and <i>Shakespeare in Love</i>, as well as her
current work running masterclasses for young students interested in a career in textiles and fashion.</span></div>

<br /><br />
The English programme at UCS began in 2015 and developed from strength to strength over the next few years. As programme leader at the time, I wondered how we could find a way of celebrating the wonderful experience of studying literature next to the banks of the River Severn and close to Charles Darwin's childhood home. I'd been involved in a community quilt project before, but only as an observer, rather than a participant. I thought it would be a challenge for me, my colleagues, and the students on the programme to create a large textile banner as a permanent memorial of our first years of working and studying together. None of us were expert with the needle but we all were keen to create something which reflected an aspect of ourselves, our love of literature and our appreciation of being in the lovely town of Shrewsbury. Despite a few qualms about our skills, we all decided to give it a go!<br />
<br /><br />
The result is 17 different 'textile stories' which have been expertly brought together in a banner by the virtuoso sewist, Elaine Rowland. Here are the various stages of her careful construction of disparate textile squares into a beautiful whole:<br />

Philip Jones decided to create a block based on the texts he's enjoyed studying. He said, 'This quilt square represents three years of studying literature and young adult fiction in the most wonderful of company. Depicting: the time-keeping rabbit from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to keep us punctual, the fruits of our labour from 'Goblin Market', symbols from the Gothic novels that we remember, and the treasure from Treasure island, to symbolise the prosperity desired for everyone, and all enclosed within the House colours of Harry Potter to make the magic happen.'</div>

other contributors explained the stories behind their blocks. Naomi Walker said, 'My square represents a map of Shrewsbury as PhD thesis is about the two Shropshire writers, Mary Cholmondeley and mary Webb, and how place is represented in their writing. I use G.I.S. mapping in my research and I wanted to demonstrate the importance of maps in my textile square.'</div>

Dr Giulia Miller, who teaches literature and film at UCS, said that her 'square represents a particularly busy but wonderful term, when I was commuting several times a week, taking both the bus and the train. One morning, whilst on the bus, I spotted an owl and was very excited. my daughter Noa was also excited and loves arts and crafts, hence her contribution.'</div>

Student Chloe Norton explains, 'My quilt square is a simple 'tribute' to the novels that fully sparked commy love for literature - The <em>Hunger </em>Games series. The mockingjay is a symbol of change, reflecting my journey through 3 years of studying and onto the next chapter of life.' Andie MacDonald, who graduated in 2019, said that 'This vibrant red tartan reflects my proud Scottish heritage, and represents the bloodshed of the MacDonald clan at Glencoe from the murderous scunne Campbell. The font is ironic; McDonald's restaurants use the same font and name is constantly misspelled! The peace sign is ubiquitous and timeless.'</div>

On 11<sup>th</sup> May 2019, around fifty people gathered at the
University Centre Shrewsbury to hear a variety of interesting talks based upon textiles
in relation to various key ceremonies in life. The topics discussed ranged from
a medieval trousseau to contemporary film, and spanned many art forms. This was
the seventh of such days organised by Professor Deborah Wynne.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The day
commenced with a talk by Sarah Thursfield, a professional pattern-cutter and
amateur textile historian, titled ‘The Trousseau of Isabella of France, 1307’,
which discussed the various items of clothing that it was made up of and the
role of the different textiles available at the time. The audience were also
interested by how the clothes were constructed and worn, and Sarah’s amazing display
of reconstructed examples helped her to demonstrate this. We were also able to
view images from this period in order to understand the role that clothing and
textiles played in society.</div>

lived from 1890 to 1972, however this talk mainly focused on her early life as
she only left the National Trust with clothes from this time. Teresa Berwick
was born in Venice and spent her childhood there with her sister. Attingham’s
collection also contains clothes belonging to her sister and mother. </div>

Holly explained that when the First World War broke out,
Teresa moved to London for a year and helped in translation due to her language
skills. Afterwards, she returned to Italy to work as a war nurse and Holly was
able to show us photographs of her from the time, and some of her remaining
uniform, which is in the Attingham collection. After the war, she married Lord
Berwick in Venice and moved to Attingham Park. We learned of her love of fancy
dress and viewed some of her fabulous costumes from this period, which were
often inspired by other cultures or time in history. As well as focusing on her
clothes, Holly also showed us various portraits of her, painted by her artist
friends, and some fabulous photographs which even appeared in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Vogue</i>! Following this enthralling talk,
the audience were delighted to hear that we could see these outfits in person
through a special tour of Attingham Park run by Holly Kirby.</div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Following
an exciting morning of talks, we all enjoyed a delicious vegan and vegetarian
buffet lunch provided by Stop café. This allowed us to discuss the morning with
each other and the speakers themselves, before the afternoon’s sessions.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>First in
the afternoon was a short story by Dr Lisa Blower, an award-winning novelist
and short story writer, written especially for this event. We were very privileged
to hear how the theme for our day had inspired the story ‘Tink’, which is a
knitting term referring to a way of undoing stitches. She cleverly interweaved
the theme of celebratory outfits by recalling how her mother’s woollen wedding
dress was then “tinked” to become her and her sister’s Christening gowns.</div>

To continue with the theme of celebratory wear in fiction, Amanda
Ford discussed funeral wear in Elizabeth Gaskell’s novels, in particular in <i>Mary
Barton</i>. We learnt about the life of Elizabeth Gaskell and industrialism in
Manchester to provide a background to the book extracts and information about
mourning customs at the time. Everyone was shocked by just how long women had
to mourn for (13 months) and the etiquette surrounding mourning fabrics. Amanda
introduced us to new fabrics, such as aerophane, and the concept of and meaning
behind having somebody’s hair in a locket.</div>

The final talk of the day was
‘Four Weddings and a Funeral: Costume and Ceremony in Contemporary Film’ by Dr
Guilia Miller, who has published books and articles on film and adaptations.
She discussed the role of costume in film and whether it should be designed for
the character or actor, before moving on to look at examples. She discussed the
role that costume plays in the plot of <i>Gone with the Wind </i>by Victor
Flemming (1939), looking in particular at the wedding dress of Scarlett O’Hara
(played by Vivien Leigh). For <i>The Philadelphia Story </i>(George Cukor,
1940), Giulia talked about how the famous costume designer, Adrian, used
costume to convey character, whilst also designing it with Katherine Hepburn in
mind. For this film, we were also able to see the role that costume played in
black and white films. </div>

<![endif]--> </b>Giulia went on to discuss how
costume portrays character in the 1989 film <i>Steel Magnolias</i> directed by
Herbert Ross, looking in particular at occasion wear in the wedding and funeral
scenes. This film was interesting as the designer, Julie Weiss, chose to ignore
the fact that she was dressing stars such as Julia Roberts and Dolly Parton. We
then looked at the pastel colour scheme of <i>Marie Antoinette </i>(Sofia
Coppola, 2006), which won three awards, including an Oscar, for its costume
design by Milena Canonero. Giulia discussed how costume portrayed the character
of Marie Antoinette (for example, in the ball scene), whilst also maintaining
the film’s aesthetic and themes. We then looked at an example of how costume is
used in fantasy films, using <i>The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 </i>(Bill
Condon, 2011), where it is used to distinguish between the wolves and vampires
and suggest character differences between the two. To continue with the theme
of celebration wear, Guilia discussed Bella’s wedding dress. To finish, Giulia
chose to look at costume in Ken Loach’s 2016 film <i>I, Daniel Blake</i>, which
is something that many of the audience had not thought about, as it is intended
to reflect the characters and seem as if it is something that they would buy
themselves, rather than be chosen by a costume designer. We looked at how each
of their individual styles are continued throughout the film and can be seen in
their funeral wear. </div>

This <em>Textile Stories </em>Study Day will explore textiles in relation to the key ceremonies in human life, from naming ceremonies such as christenings, to weddings and funerals. How have the garments associated with such ceremonies changed over time? What sorts of fabrics and colours have been used? How have these ceremonies been depicted in literature, art and in film? From the medieval period to the present day, we will consider how conventions have changed and them importance of textiles to these key moments in human life.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The day will involve talks, displays and stalls. Participants are invited to send copies of their own photographs of naming ceremonies, weddings and funerals in advance for a display.</div>

Among the items on sale were some skeins of wool from her flock of rare Badger Face Sheep. I decided to buy 3 skeins of the wool, despite the fact that I wasn't sure what I would knit with them.</span></span><br />

The wool arrived, beautifully packaged under Thelma's label 'Meadowsweet Wools', and was lovely to the touch. I was inspired, and decided to try my hand at knitting a shawl. Having seen in costume dramas such as Larkrise to Candleford and North and South that the working women characters often wear homespun, home-knit shawls, I thought I would try to recreate one for myself. The problem was I had no pattern and couldn't find one to download on the internet. So I decided to improvise by knitting a large square and then create the tapered side panels later. Recently I discovered the joys of moss stitch, but wondered if a more simple stich would bring out the texture of the wool more clearly. I decided in the end to use garter stich and am very pleased with the knobbly effect it produced.<br />
<br /><br />

Once I had the square knitted, the measurements of which I had guessed, I began to work on the first tapered side piece, which was easy to do. I simply kept one side straight and decreased a stitch at a time (firstly on every alternate row and later on every row) until I reached one stitch to cast off, and I had my pointed end. I repeated with the matching side until the shawl was completed.<br />
<br /><br />
Here is the finished result:<br />

<br /><br />
Wearing the shawl it became clear just how warm the wool is and why working women in the poorly heated homes of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries needed their shawls. My shawl is now emerging from storage for the autumn and winter and I look forward to knitting something else with wool from Thelmas's flock. In fact, Thelma tells me she can supply me with white Welsh Mountain wool for my next project.<br />
<br /><br />
If you'd like to contact Thelma about buying wool from her flock, then email: <a href="mailto:script_tft@yahoo.co.uk">script_tft@yahoo.co.uk</a> <br />

Elizabeth Gaskell’s House in Manchester I took part in the ‘Women and Textiles’
study day on 5<sup>th</sup> May 2018 organised by the Gaskell Society. One of
the speakers was Sarah Williamson, who gave a fascinating and witty talk about a
project she led to reconstruct the ‘Brontë Quilt’. The original quilt, first
discovered at an auction of Brontë memorabilia in 1898 and described as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lot 47: Unfinished patchwork counterpane,
made by the Brontë sisters</i>, is now in the Brontë Parsonage Museum,
Haworth. Unfortunately its fragile state makes it impossible to display on a
permanent basis. Sarah initiated the project to reconstruct this quilt
following an email to the Quilters’ Guild in 2015 from the novelist Tracy

described the original quilt as about 6 ft square and made up of scraps many
different fabrics. She offered an interesting account of the history of
quilting in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and explained that the
original quilt combined different techniques, both pieced and appliquéd.</span></span></span></span></div>

showed us that the Brontë Quilt is quite eccentric in its design and is not in
places expertly sewn. As a contrast, Sarah showed us a picture of a quilt made
by Jane Austen, which is both expertly designed and sewn. However, while Austen
was a keen seamstress, it is well-known that the Brontë sisters were less
enthusiastic about sewing, although Emily was likely to have been more
interested than her sister Charlotte, who often complained in her letters about
having to sew. Nevertheless, the Brontë Quilt is an interesting design and helps
to evoke the idea of the sisters collaborating on a sewing project while,
perhaps, discussing their various literary projects.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

was enthusiastic about the idea of reconstructing the Brontë Quilt for
Charlotte Brontë’s bicentenary in 2016, although she explained that she did
not at first understand the enormity of the task ahead of her! Fortunately, her
quilting friends Wendy Latham and Giselle Sutcliffe agreed to join her in reconstructing
the quilt. They collected scraps of fabric and set about the mammoth task of
cutting out the many fabric shapes needed to match the original and then sewing
them all together.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Wendy and Giselle visited the Brontë Parsonage Museum to study the original
quilt for themselves, which Sarah described as an ‘amazing experience’. Ann
Dinsdale, the Collections Manager of the Brontë Society and Brontë Parsonage
Museum, kindly took the quilt out of storage. Sarah said, ‘I had prepared a
list of things I wanted to measure or make notes of; even so there were lots of
details I forgot to check. We were able to take loads of measurements and
photographs, and I was relieved to find that my preliminary calculations were
pretty close’.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

reconstruction was on display at the Bankfield Museum in Halifax in 2016. We
were fortunate to be able to study it during the day in the Elizabeth Gaskell
House, and there was admiration for the incredible skill which had gone into
the making of this beautiful quilt. It has certainly captured the essence of
the original, but unlike the fragile quilt in storage, the reconstruction has
the advantage of being sturdy and capable of being displayed. Indeed, it was
presented to the Brontë Parsonage Museum on 16<sup>th</sup> May 2018 and will
be on display on Patrick Brontë’s bed for the rest of the year.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">

<strong><em><span style="font-size: large;">Working Textiles: Textile Workers</span></em></strong></div>
<br />
The sixth textile study day, organized by Professor Deborah Wynne, took place on 14th April 2018 at the Guildhall, University Centre Shrewsbury. The focus this year was on textile work and workers and the topics discussed ranged from the conditions in a Shropshire flax mill in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to home dressmaking to the traditional smocks worn by rural workers.<br />
<br />
The event was organized in conjunction with the Friends of the Flax Mill Maltings at Ditherington in Shrewsbury. The mill was established as a heritage site in 2015 and is supported by Historic England. Shrewsbury was once an important centre for the production of flax, which was woven into linen, and the mill a Ditherington was designed in the late eighteenth century as an innovative fireproof structure which became an influential model for the design of factories. Our first talk was presented by Maralyn Hepworth and Penny Ward, both of whom were instrumental in the project to reclaim the derelict flax mill and convert it into a heritage site. Their talk, 'From Flax to Fabric: The People of Shrewsbury Flax Mill', discussed how flax was grown and processed, and the lives of workers at the Shrewsbury flax mill. Using archival evidence from Shropshire Archives, Penny and Maralyn focused on some individual workers' lives, showing how men, women and children fared, with some success stories as well as bleak accounts of child exploitation. The joint talk was full of interest and particularly helpful in highlighting why the mill needs to be preserved.<br />

The Friends of the Flaxmill and Maltings created a wonderful display stand which indicated key apsects of the Mill's history. Spinners and 'hecklers' in nineteenth-century costumes showed how flax was traditionally processed and spun, using a traditional spinning wheel. There were also beautiful pieces of linen to buy and an opportunity for participants to donate to the important work of the volunteers who are bringing the mill into a new phase of development as a significant heritage site.<br />

Our second speaker was Brenda Rewhorn, who has recently submitted a PhD on 'The Art of Tatting Lace' at the University of Chester. Brenda gave a fascinating talk on tatting, 'Tatting: Lace for Working People'. Tatting is a hand-held form of lace which was popular with the poor at a time when bobbin-lace was extremely expensive. ironically, the two most significant proponents of tatting were extremely privileged nineteenth-century women, Queen Elisabeth of Romania and Lady Catharine Hoare based in Norfolk, both of whom worked hard to highlight the beauty and importance of this craft. in a lavishly illustrated talk, Brenda explained the remarkable history of tatting. she also had set up a wonderful display of tatting shuttles, pattern books and tatted work, much of it which she had done herself.</div>

The next speaker was Jane Thomas, who once taught needlework in a London comprehensive school, and now researches many aspects of needlecraft, from smocks to buttons. Her interesting and informative talk, 'Traditional Smocking: Workers and Clothing', was accompanied by a traditional smock she had recreated from an old pattern, displayed on a dressmaker's dummy. Jane explained that smocking was a traditional English rural craft which had thrived for centuries before the industrial revolution, only dying out in the early twentieth century. Agricultural workers wore smocks over their clothes to protect them. Incredibly strong and hard wearing linen garments, smocks were also beautifully decorated, often with symbols of the wearer's trade. Jane also showed how smocking continued in different forms when working smocks were no longer worn. Smocking techniques are now incorporated into dresses, particularly children's clothing and craft products. jane's smock was examined closely by people in the audience after her lively and informative talk.</div>

The next talk was given by Elaine Rowland, 'Good Men and Little Women: Gendered Roles in Clothing Production'. Elaine is currently working on an MRes dissertation at the Institute of Gender Studies, University of Chester. her project examines home dressmaking in the context of heritage clothing. Her talk offered a fascinating history of the ways in which needlework had been gendered, with male tailors being perceived differently from female dressmakers. Elaine offered a lavishly illustrated talk which gave us insights into dressmaking and tailoring as crafts and professions which have long had complex gendered cultural dimensions.</div>

The final talk of the day, 'Cotton in the Nineteenth Century: From Southern U.S. Slavery to Manchester's Mill Workers', was delivered by Professor Deborah Wynne from the University of Chester and UCS. Deborah showed how cotton production and manufacture had helped to shape the modern world. After a brief history of cotton production in Europe, she highlighted the links between slavery in the cotton plantations of America and the mass-production of cotton in Manchester. Deborah showed how two novels, <em>North and South</em> by the Manchester-based author Elizabeth Gaskell and <em>The Quest of the Silver Fleece </em>by W.E.B. Du Bois, a black activist and writer based in the U.S. writing at the turn of the twentieth century, foregrounded cotton as a key component in worker's lives. She showed how novelists often explore themes and ideas which historians shy away from as 'unrealistic'. Both Gaskell and Du Bois, she suggested, imagine utopian alternatives for exploited workers which help their readers consider new ways of thinking and acting.</div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;">The
event started off with a lecture by Dr Katherine Wilson, Senior Lecturer in
History at the University of Chester and an expert in European luxury fabrics
of the late medieval period. In a fascinating talk, titled </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Europe's
Rich Fabric: The Growth of Luxury Textiles</span></i><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;">, Dr Wilson discussed the development of the silk
trade in Italy, the Netherlands and France, and how it contributed to a
consumer boom in luxury goods. Focusing on Dijon in France, she explained that
an examination of the wills and inventories of shopkeepers and merchants showed
that silk goods, and other luxury textiles, were widely owned and bequeathed
after death. Her talk was wonderfully illustrated with images of beautifully
decorated silken items, from cloaks to altar cloths.</span></div>

Katherine’s talk, participants were able to enjoy a guided tour of the silk
museum’s facilities, which included viewing items from the collection which were
not normally on display and seeing the looms in action. It was possible to get
a sense of how the workers at the silk mill must have felt as they worked the
machinery in rather cramped and noisy conditions.</span></span><br />

session was offered in the form of a creative workshop, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Crafting Silk Stories</i>. This was organised by Emily Wilkinson, an
artist and poet who takes her inspiration from the natural world and textiles.
Emily encouraged participants to create books based on their personal responses
to and ideas about silk. Using text, images and scraps of fabric, people
created some fascinating small books to take home and keep.</span></span><br />

of the wild silks of India</span> </span></i><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;">was
given by Dr Brenda King, Chair of the Textile Society. She spoke about Thomas
Wardle, a local silk manufacturer whose experiments with natural dyes and
Indian tussar silks prompted William Morris to travel to Leek to study with
him. Dr King explained how problematic the dyeing of raw silk had been until Wardle
found ways to use plants to produce silks in wonderful colours. She also
discussed the work of Wardle’s wife, Elizabeth, who taught embroidery and was
responsible for many of the exquisite church textiles which were created as
part of the Arts and Crafts Movement.</span></div>

Wynne asks Emily about her practice as a poet and artist.</b></span></div>
<div class="gmail-p1" style="margin: 1em 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span class="gmail-s1"><b>DW:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You use text quite often in your art, do the
words inspire the artwork, or does the art inspire the words?</b></span></div>
<div class="gmail-p1" style="margin: 1em 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span class="gmail-s1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">EW:</b> They usually evolve at the same
time, I find that making visual work evokes a mood which then informs the
language I am attracted to, and vice versa. Having said that, I sometimes write
words inspired by a visual piece or a photograph, but don’t often come up with
artwork based on pre-existing words.</span></div>

<b>DW: How do you source the
materials in your textile art and collages?</b></div>
<div class="gmail-p2" style="margin: 1em 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">EW:</b> I collect magazines, second hand books, postcards and bits of
ephemera. It helps to be a bit of a hoarder! I also save scraps of nice paper
and offcuts of fabric. Most of the fabrics I use are second hand; either finds
from charity shops or old things I cut up. I also create my own surfaces by
putting papers and fabrics through processes to make texture and alter colours.
Scrapstores are a great resource too, and luckily we have one locally in Church
Stretton. </div>

<div class="gmail-p1" style="margin: 1em 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span class="gmail-s1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">EW:</b> I’m a country girl at heart and
feel happiest when surrounded by nature or not far from wild places. By working
creatively with or in landscapes I think we explore our inner emotional worlds.
I suppose that for some people that might be cities or urban environments, but
for me it’s mountains and oceans. I also find our connection as humans to the
natural world fascinating, and care about protecting the environment. </span></div>

<div class="gmail-p1" style="margin: 1em 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span class="gmail-s1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">EW:</b> Some of my 3D work is actually
quite flat so in a way it’s not so different to working with collage, just in
relief. With items such as my paper shoes it’s more like creating a garment
from a pattern, these are quite fiddly to make however! I haven’t worked on a
large scale in 3D which is where the real challenge would probably come
in. </span></div>

<span class="gmail-s1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">EW:</b> As mentioned earlier I like to work
with second hand fabrics to give them a new life, I also like the sense of
history and stories they carry. Wool is lovely to work with and I enjoy other
natural fibres like linen, bamboo and silk which is one of the reasons I am
really looking forward to working with you at Macclesfield Silk Museum next
April.</span></div>

Antwerp Filmpoem Festival about three years ago. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">The fourth annual University of Chester Textiles Stories Study Day took
place on the 23</span><sup style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">rd</sup><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> April 2016 at the Guildhall, University Centre
Shrewsbury. ‘The Story of Wool’ was the focus of this year’s event and the
diverse schedule of talks, displays, and stalls offered something for
everybody, whether a knitting novice or spinning expert!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The
talks got off to a fascinating start thanks to textile artist Fiona Nisbet.
Fiona talked us through the steps involved in the creation of her beautiful
textiles, which begins with sourcing the ideal sheep. Once she has found the
best fleece, Fiona explained how she starts the process of spinning the raw
material into thread, using the techniques of carding or combing depending on
the design she hopes to produce. She then talked us through the various dyeing
and weaving techniques, before explaining how she transforms the end material
into her stunning designs. Fiona very kindly brought in some of her pieces, so
we were lucky enough to see (and even buy) some of her original work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Next
up were Dr Graham Atkin and Professor Deborah Wynne, both English lecturers. Their
talk: ‘Woolly Stories: From Shakespeare to the Brontës’ focused on the importance
of the pastoral, wool, and the wool trade within the literature of Shakespeare
and the Brontës. Graham discussed his interest in the pastoral literature of
the Renaissance by taking us through images from Edmund Spenser’s <i>The Shepeardes Calendar </i>(1579). We were also
given examples from several of Shakespeare’s plays where pastoral imagery can
be found including <i>As You Like It</i>
(1600) and <i>The Winter’s Tale</i> (1611).
Deborah’s talk centred around examples of the wool trade in the work of the
Brontës, especially their childhood experiences of the Yorkshire woollen mills.
Deborah explained how both Branwell and Charlotte took inspiration from the
mills near their home in Haworth, an area where the spinning and selling of
wool was an essential part of the local economy. Deborah focused on Branwell
Brontë’s <i>The Wool is Rising</i> (1834)
and Charlotte Brontë’s <i>Shirley</i> (1849)
in her talk.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> After
a delicious lunch, everybody was ready for the third talk of the day from the
local sheep farmer, Thelma Thompson. Despite a successful career as a
solicitor, Thelma decided she had had enough of her office in the city. After
heading to a sheep market with her friend, farmer Henry, Thelma had a chance
encounter with a small but feisty ram named Tinker. Before she knew it, she had
purchased Tinker and the rest was history! Thelma’s fascinating talk detailed
the highs and lows of being a twenty-first century shepherdess. Though she has
had to deal with financial pressures, long hours, and never-ending administrative
work, she is also able to spend every day in the great outdoors, breeding and
rearing her sheep with Henry’s help. Thelma’s talk included some beautiful
photographs of her new lambs, while her stall provided some more opportunities
for retail therapy! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The
final talk of the day was given by Professor Sandy Black from the Centre for
Sustainable Fashion, at the University of the Arts, London. Sandy has enjoyed a
varied and fascinating career as a designer, a researcher and an academic. Her
talk, ‘Wool in Knitting and Fashion: From underwear to couture’ focussed on the
important role knitting has played in fashion throughout the ages, from
beautiful examples of early knitting in the fifth century, to couture pieces
from the modern day. Sandy explored in detail how wool has maintained its
cultural importance in domestic terms, especially throughout the nineteenth-century,
when knitting was used to make extra money, and as an educational tool in
schools. She transported us through history, up to the twenty-first century,
when wool strengthened its importance as an art form for modern designers whose
work graces catwalks, and can be seen amongst the pages of <i>Vogue</i> magazine. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our third <i>Textile Stories</i> study day was devoted to the topic of quilts and quilting. Quilts come in many forms and have a long history; the stories they tell can be obvious or hidden. Textile historians have done much to reveal the fascinating stories hidden in quilts. At the University of Chester many of us have been rather preoccupied by the idea of quilting because the Anniversary Quilt, celebrating the University's 175th anniversary, took shape over the course of the previous year. It seemed fitting that we explore the history of quilts and the stories they tell for our 2015 study day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We listen to some thought-provoking and informative talks from our speakers; some were experts on quilts, their histories or the art of quilting. Other speakers shared knowledge and experience in restoring and preserving quilts and organising a quilt project involving a group of sewing enthusiasts. </span></div>

Her talk focused on the techniques she used and her own personal journey as an artist inspired by the natural world. She brought examples of her work, from projects she had done as a schoolgirl and work she had done at art school, as well as the 'stitched' paintings she had exhibited as a professional artist. The audience found the diversity of material she used, paint, thread, even plastics, intriguing, and Christine was asked lots of questions about how she used her skills with each project.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many of us remembered Jacqui's talk in 2014, when she discussed the exciting discovery of medieval Egyptian clothing hidden away in a Leeds museum, and her research and restoration of these fascinating objects. A textile historian and experienced conservator, Jacqui offered expert advice on caring for quilts. Jacqui emphasised that the quilts made today will be of interest to future generations and that we should think about preserving them, as well as enjoying them now. Her talk ranged from restoring historic textiles in museums to ways of cleaning and storing the quilts handed down within families. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Claire was
involved in putting together the major quilt exhibition at the Victoria and
Albert Museum in 2010 and her talk was based on the pleasure of researching a number of fascinating quilts from the eighteenth century to today. She talked about what for her were the highlights of the exhibition, and how the research team set about displaying over 300 years of quilt history. Her talk was well illustrated and we saw the rich history of quilts unfolding, from the beautiful work of well-born ladies in the eighteenth century, to the domestic creation of bedspreads in the nineteenth century, to the stitching of individual stories by prisoners in the contemporary 'prison quilt'. Claire emphasised that each quilt had its own story to tell, and that the challenge for textile historians is to uncover and make sense of each story about each quilt's moment in time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A great day –
really interesting, inspirational talks, great food, lovely company. Please add me to your mailing list for future
events. I enjoyed the mix of academic,
intellectual material and practical hints and tips. Symbolism in textiles would be an interesting
theme – runaway quits from the underground railway and in weavings as in Lady
and the Unicorn by Tracey Chevalier. So
lovely to get up close and personal with real items – particularly in Pat’s talk
and from participants.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

an amazing day which fulfilled all my expectations. Every speaker brought a new aspect of the
world of textiles to our attention. One
could not help but be encouraged by their enthusiasm. The day was very well organised – timings,
catering etc. were excellent. Thanks to
you all for organising such an inspiring day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Millie!' Frances exclaimed. 'What ever have you done?'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mildred
looked up from the drawing room floor, gesturing helplessly to the quilt on the
ground before her. One corner was badly burned, a good few inches of fabric
eaten away, and the surrounding squares were singed and stained with soot.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Grandmother's
quilt, Fannie. Look at it. Mother will never forgive me.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'How ever
did it happen?' Frances asked. Mildred shifted uncomfortably, avoiding her
sister's eye. 'How did it happen, Millie?'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She sighed.
'Well, if you must know, I was using it as a cape.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'A cape?'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Yes. And
as I turned around the corner flew upwards and landed on the grate, and the
edge caught alight. I managed to stamp it out, but I'm afraid it's quite
ruined.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Why on
earth were you using Grandmama's quilt as a cape?' Said Frances, incredulous.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mildred
raised her head defiantly, her cheeks flaming. 'I was re-enacting Lancelot and
Elaine.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'And does
Elaine require a cape?'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'No, but
Lancelot does.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They stared
at each other for a moment, the ruined quilt on the ground between them, before
Frances' shoulders began to shake, no longer able to contain her laughter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'One day,
Mildred,' she laughed. 'You will begin to act like a woman of eighteen, rather
than a boy of twelve.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'When that
day comes, Frances, you have my permission to put me out of my misery.' Her
sister retorted, her eyes shining in the dim light from the fire. Sighing
heavily, Frances knelt on the floor beside her, picking at the burned edge.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Oh,
Millie. Look at it.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mildred
nodded. 'And she was always so proud of it.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Who,
mother?'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'No,
grandmother. She sewed it herself, remember?'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Frances
smiled. 'Yes. No wonder it's quite so threadbare, poor old thing.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Wasn't
that a part of her wedding dress?' Mildred pointed to a square.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Yes, I
think so. And this was one of grandpapa's old work shirts. Quite a lot of these
things were his.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'And now
I've ruined it.' Mildred said, her voice wavering. Frances took her hand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'No, not at
all. Grandmama made it to tell the story of her and Grandpapa. That story will
always be there. Every square is a part of them, as long as we're here to
remember.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suddenly,
Mildred looked up, wiping her eyes on the back of her hand as she scrambled to
her feet. 'Fetch your sewing kit.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Hmm?'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Does
mother still have the old baby blankets?'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Why, yes,
but...'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'I'm sure I
can find some of mother's old things. She must have lots we can use.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Frances
stood up. 'Use for what, Mildred?'<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mildred
beamed at her. 'We can repair it, Frances. Add our own squares to replace the
ones I burned. You're right, I haven't ruined their story. I've merely added
another chapter.'<o:p></o:p></div>
