MADE IN HASTINGS

Made In Hastings is a local makers craft emporium, run and owned by five Hastingite makers.

I was thrilled to be asked to take over one of their windows and create a display using my passementerie.

The result is a Modernist Christmas tree [well, as Modernist as you can get if it involves the frivolity of trims andtassels!]. It will be there until the 18th November so if you're passing, go hae a gander and pop in for a bit of Christmasshopping. You may even find some specially made key tassels by yours truly which you won't be able to get anywhere else.

TABLE TOP MUSEUM

I'll be participating in @artworkersguild Table Top Museum, an exhibition of collectors showing their collections. I'll be showing A Plethora of Passementerie, samples from my archive stretching back over the last 30 years and beyond.

Amongst which will be several bullion samples, including the Sultan of Brunei's throne room (first passementerie I ever wove) and a banner weight, woven late 90s, which was used on the banners exchanged by football teams at the beginning of a match. I gave the Spurs and Arsenal ones away. The one I have left is red and gold so wasn't sure which team it was for (possibly Man U, as same colours as logo?)

And you thought passementerie was only for cushions!

So, if you have a penchant for the peculiar, esoteric and eccentric, this is the event for you.

There will also be the chance to have a nosy around the Guild's beautiful building with a pre-booked tour as part of Open House Festival @opencitylondon

Sunday 18th September, 11am-5pm.
