The Art of Textiles - Textiles are artistic forms in themselves but also often appear in other art forms including painting, sculpture and theatre setting the scene, suggesting values and beliefs and acting as symbols. Through this series of study day lectures we will explore the history and artistic value of a broad range of textiles from the Mediaeval period to the modern world.
