ALT an back and white line embroidery of a woman lying with her hair spread out all over the place. Next to her is a smiling, sleeping cat who is resting on her hair. She looks at the cat lovingly. The text reads: Autistic community and creativity: cartooning with embroidery for self-expression and wellbeing. Tuesday 5th November 2024, 6.30-8.30pm
This week I went on pilgrimage to see Mary Linwood at Tate Britain, and Mary Knowles next to her. And then Mary L next to her own embroidered Napoleon at the V&A where I had to fight through queues of swifties. 1/2
I said I was coming back to Twix land to talk about my forthcoming textile history project but I might as well also tell you about my current (this week only) exhibtion in my garden studio. It’s about the loss of front gardens and other land-based projects. 1/2
It’s free! It’s only tiny. In my garden in Loughborough. You can find out more here including the address. 2-4pm Weds (today), Friday and Sunday 11th August.

Well Twitter folks, I’ve not really been using this space much, let alone @criminalquilts which is mothballed. But it’s time to come back as I’ve got a big new textile history project to share and this is the best place for textile-historian-museum networking, isn’t it?
“Choose between these three vague concepts” none of which is ever likely to happen
PS you paid staff in #arts orgs - #artsfreelancers are done with surveys, surveys, more surveys esp where questions are leading - eg ‘which of these services would you like best?’ Ie excludes factors not on yr radar). And no, entering a prize draw isn’t attraction you think…

Great reflections from @ruthsinger on the value - and skills - of public engagement (from an arts / creative practice perspective, applies to other areas too) -

Had a great day with @glam_cares introducing values and behaviours using bingo and snakes and ladders. My area of research is the bit between freelancers / artists, participants & organisations and how care is essential to making this collaboration work 💫
Not shown: snakes 🐍 and ladders 🪜
@RuthSinger starts our first interactive workshop looking and values and behaviours and what this might mean for our wellbeing in the relationships we have in our work. @glam_cares #GLAMCares2024
This was a lot of fun
Wow - a wonderful start to #GLAMCares2024 with a workshop on values - and where friction and happiness collide when working with freelancers - led by @RuthSinger

Come on folks, this needs doing. Yes expensive but the cost might focus some minds on not letting things get so bad another time, another place… maybe somewhere you love. Please sign and share.
