SUMMARY:Marvellous Makers\, Wondrous Worlds - Raised Embroidery from the 17th century
DESCRIPTION:A jewel-like show of exceptional needlework.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition highlights the Holburne’s important collection of raised embroidery and with a display of complementary loans\, allows visitors a close-up look at a host of beautifully crafted objects. \nDescribed as ‘curious work’ by contemporaries in the seventeenth century\, these decorative embroidered pictures were mostly made by young\, highly skilled non-professional needlewomen in wealthy households\, and were designed to display their mastery of the craft. Themes of gender bias; the divide between domestic crafts and the more prestigious and public-facing textile art; and the connections between the materials employed and the trade relationships of the period are all addressed in this fantastic show. \n\n\n\nEvent Details

SUMMARY:BY THE CUT OF THEIR CLOTH EXHIBITION
DESCRIPTION:Spanning 300 years of Brent’s mixed race and multicultural history through the lenses of art\, photography and fashion\, ‘By The Cut of Their Cloth’ (BTCOTC) is our latest online exhibition.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCurated by The Mixed Museum and Brent-based artist and designer Warren Reilly\, BTCOTC explores Brent’s rich multicultural and mixed-race histories. In particular\, it continues in the tradition of the Brent 2020: London Borough of Culture project ‘Fashioning our History’ by using fashion as a lens to look at marginalised social histories. \nWe have been thrilled by the interest shown in the project since its start and we are delighted to now be able to share the wonderful material we have collected with you. We hope that the images and family histories uncovered by the project will help us all think about how we can open up and enrich Britain’s archives so that a wider range of the family histories that make up British history can inform us and be enjoyed by us all\, now and in the future. \nThe exhibition is split into seven main sections\, including: \n\nStories of Colonial Brent – A look at Brent’s colonial past\nMultiracial Brent – Stories of modern migration and multiculturalism from the Borough of Brent\nThe Boy From Brent – Curating Warren’s ‘family archive’\nArchive Discoveries – What we found in Brent Museum and Archives\nBrent Stories – Brent residents and creatives share stories of their mixed-race and multicultural family histories with BTCOTC\nFashioning our History – Exploring stories of racial mixing and multiculturalism using fashion as a lens\nArtistic Responses – Encouraging creative responses to historical accounts\n\nWe hope that BTCOTC will not only help bring attention to Brent’s long history of racial mixing but also show that the histories of ‘ordinary’ people are just as fascinating and valuable a resource as the stories of more well-known or influential people who are typically included in archive and museum collections. \nVisit the exhibition: www.mixedmuseum.org.uk/BTCOTC \n\n\n\nEvent Details

SUMMARY:Flowered Silk and Duchesse Satin
DESCRIPTION:Curator Shelley Tobin takes a closer look at fashionable dress highlighting some of the most prevalent colours and patterns favoured by fashionable women in the mid to late-19th century.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoth the National Trust collections and those at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum\, Exeter preserve many silk afternoon and evening dresses made between 1840-1900.

Ticket entry is by Give What You Can donations welcome\, in partnership with Friends Of Macclesfield Museums. Every donation\, of any size\, makes an important difference in helping the work with our local community and preserving the collections. Please consider giving what you can. \n\n\n\nEvent Details
