The project was supported by Teaching Enhancement Fund, Uni of St Andrews. @ThreadsWar received support from @StAndrewsIR and @Journal_CVIR.
The completion of the textile book was supported by @mccallmacbain Teaching Excellence Award and St Andrews Entrepreneurial Education Fund @UStAResearch, and was stitched in its current form by @DeborahStockda5

Lorina Bulwer, needle-worker incarcerated in the 'lunatic ward' of a UK Workhouse in 1894, created large scale samplers as a way to voice her experience, highlighting her protests at her treatment and grim conditions #womensart

This is such a great piece of embroidery. Made by a young mum, stuck at home and desperately trying to find inspiration for doing some creative sewing, she chose this. It’s her washing machine!

From the textile sessions I occasionally run: @DmitryChepurnoy makes a t-shirt design based on a drawing of #Sviatohirsk from #mentalmap by Oksana which she made during an interview with @fuala_julia (Donbas Odyssey art project). @ThreadsWar #donbas #donbass #publicengagement
Our last @ThreadsWar event featured a screening of ‘Scraps of Life’ plus Q&A, and artwork from students @StAndrewsIR and beyond. Thanks to all the participants, including students and members of the public, for making this an unforgettable closing event!
