This study day is open to all who
are interested in the ways in which textiles tell stories, whether they concern
family histories, personal identity, or local communities. Do you have an item
of clothing which tells an interesting story? Have you ever made an item from
or with textiles which means something special to you? Do you find the clothing
of the past of particular fascination? Are film and television ‘costume dramas’
compelling viewing because of the drama of costume? Do you just want to find out
more about textiles, fabrics, clothes and costumes and their remarkable
stories? If you can answer ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then contact
Deborah Wynne (d.wynne@chester.ac.uk) for more
information and a ticket to this free one-day event.
