SUMMARY:Annual Conference 2021
DESCRIPTION:TEXTILE SOCIETY EVENT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Textile Society Annual Conference 2021 explores the theme of ‘Tools’ – their significance in the history of textiles and their influence on contemporary practice. From the simplicity of a darning needle held in the back pocket to the complexity of an industrial power loom\, tools are the extension of our creativity\, a connection between thinking and making\, imagination and invention.\nWe are delighted to welcome our panel of eminent speakers who will bring to this event their knowledge of textiles and their personal experiences of the tools that created them.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill Cruickshank\nWill Cruickshank has a multidisciplinary practice which includes textiles\, sculpture\, film\, photography\, and printmaking\, alongside machines and participatory works. In 2018-2019 he received the Arts Council England DYCP Award (Developing your Creative Practice) for his studio research. For five years Will rented three grain silos in Essex\, and converted them into a studio where the spaces operated as laboratories and machine rooms. He has now relocated to Devon. \nWill’s presentation will include images and films of his recent work in textiles – a record of an explorative journey through machine\, material and technique\, and an insight into how the evolution of his work is dependent upon the invention\, or reappropriation\, of devices and tools. \n\n\n\nSilo Studio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI have been working as an artist for twenty years\, creating objects through the development of self-built machinery and experimental production. It is a practice grounded in learning by doing\, and thinking through making. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Harris\nDaniel Harris established the London Cloth Company ten years ago – the first micro-mill to produce bespoke cloth in the capital. He specialises in quality woven cloth produced on his ever-expanding range of carefully restored shuttle looms\, employing the same techniques that have not changed for decades. Clients range from Ally Capellino to Hardy Amies\, from Lyle and Scott to Ralph Lauren. \nDaniel will discuss his business which started as one 1920s loom in a small studio\, and has gone on to encompass a sixty ton collection of restored working textile machinery dating from 1880-1990. It is a collection with the ability to weave fabrics of different qualities\, supplying brands all over the world. \n\n\n\nLondon Cloth Company\, Shuttle \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen I started weaving I was ridiculously naive\, all I was going to need was a loom. But weaving on an industrial scale\, no matter how small\, requires so much stuff!…the ludicrous amount of ancillary equipment and spares needed to restore\, repair and maintain ageing machinery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTim Parry-Williams\nTim Parry-Williams is a studio weaver and Professor of Art: Textiles at the University of Bergen\, Norway. He is a Trustee of the Crafts Study Centre and an Advisor to the European Textile Network (ETN). His collaborative exhibition project Plain Stripe Check opened at the Japan Folk Crafts Museum\, Tokyo in 2007. It went on to tour the UK and Europe\, drawing upon research with a network of museums and archive collections worldwide.  \nTim’s portfolio career is centred on weaving – working by hand\, indirectly through collaborative practice\, in education and through cultural exchange. Opening and reaching into both literal and metaphorical toolboxes\, Tim will reveal examples of the many objects employed in a largely autonomous practice\, very much rooted in a rich\, craft-based training\, first in England and later in Japan. \n\n\n\nFacilitating\, Photo Nathan Corum\, 2021 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy practices are punctuated by the need to solve problems\, to question and reinvent. The toolbox shifts from the specific\, the specialist\, and the custom-made to embrace the adapted\, doctored\, re-purposed\, and re-appropriated…a delightfully disparate and eclectic gathering of objects – the ‘tools of the trade’ as extensions to both body and mind\, or simply the means to an end in the act of making and expression. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCelia Pym\nCelia Pym is an artist and Visiting Lecturer in Mixed Media Textiles at the Royal College of Art\, London. In 2017 she was shortlisted for the Woman’s Hour Craft Prize and the inaugural Loewe Craft Prize. Her work has been exhibited internationally most recently in Waste Age\, Design Museum London (2021)\, On Happiness: Joy and Tranquility\, Wellcome Collection\, London (2021)\, Siblings\, Trading Museum\, CDG\, Paris (2020) and Sewing Box for the Future\, V&A Dundee (2020). \nFor the past fifteen years Celia has explored damage and repair in textiles – tracking down owners of garments\, and using the question\, “Do you have something with a hole in?” to meet people and invite conversation wider than just the damaged item. \n\n\n\nPractice Sweater \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSimple tools are essential to make the conversation happen. Damage and repair is complicated\, but starting with tools that fit in your pocket makes it easier. I favour tools that are lightweight and portable. Scissors\, needles – both knitting and sewing – and an old fork are the perfect combination of tools for me. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMary Schoeser\nMary Schoeser FRSA is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the V&A and President of the Textile Society\, with fifty years of experience in writing\, curating\, lecturing and archival work. Among her 2021 projects are contributions to the exhibition Chintz: Cotton in Bloom (Fashion & Textile Museum) and an essay for the Archie Brennan: Tapestry goes Pop (Dovecot Studios) catalogue\, as well as a chapter for a forthcoming publication on Bernat Klein. She is Patron of the Klein Foundation and the School of Textiles. \nTaking tools for making textiles as a starting point\, Mary’s lecture will explore what early archaeological finds tell us about how and what early humans created. Aside from examining surviving tools\, her discussion will widen out to embrace a definition of ‘tool’ given by the Oxford English Dictionary\, namely ‘…a thing (concrete or abstract) with which some operation is performed; a means of effecting something; an instrument.’ \n\n\n\nMatthew McIntyre Wilson\, Pēke mau net 2020\, Photo Natalie Jones \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmbracing textiles as tools in and of themselves\, as implements and communicative devices\, shows the links between herding and accounting\, storage and story-telling – a journey through the effects of textiles. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Brenda King\, long-standing Committee Member and Chair of the Textile Society for a decade\, has been instrumental in co-curating this event. Brenda died suddenly on 4 July 2021 and\, as such\, this conference is dedicated to Brenda in sincere gratitude for all her work and commitment to this Society over many years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to purchase your member ticket via Eventbrite. \n\nBuy tickets \n\n\n\nClick here to purchase your non-member ticket via Eventbrite. \n\nBuy tickets

SUMMARY:Richard McVetis: a 15-year obsession with a single stitch
DESCRIPTION:TEXTILE SOCIETY EVENT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	This online talk explores Richard’s fascination with a single stitch technique.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis talk explores McVetis’ 15-year fascination and obsession with a single stitch technique and how the individual expressive properties of this process have enabled him to examine his connection to material and place. \nThe mapping of space and marking time and form are central themes. Using a range of media\, McVetis explores how time and place\, experienced and constructed. Ideas are often developed in response to or created specifically to a moment\, visualising and making this a tactile and tangible object. Drawing as an act is what occurs in everything that he does. Drawing as a dialogue; a process that goes beyond the flat surface and into space around. \nMcVetis’ practice is deeply rooted in process and hand embroidery. He records time and space through multiples of dots\, lines\, and crosses. These meticulously rendered stitches reflect a preoccupation with the repetitive nature\, exploring the subtle differences that emerge through ritualistic and habitual making. The inscribed stitches mark the hand’s rhythms\, a delicate performance of obsessive intricacy\, refinement\, and physical activity. They record human presence\, time and decay\, each stitch acting as a marker for lived time\, an embodiment of thought and patience. \nTime permitting there will be a Q&A. We invite you to submit a question when booking your ticket. \nRichard McVetis uses a range of media\, including drawing\, installation\, and textiles\, to explore our perception of space and time. His minimalist work is an endless exploration\, not just of form but of the reclamation and potential of process and repetition — a step-by-step examination of perspective and scale which unearths the human condition. \nFinalist of the 2018 Loewe Craft Prize\, Richard’s artwork has been celebrated in galleries\, art fairs\, and museums across the world including Iceland\, Ukraine\, Pakistan\, South Korea\, UAE\, and the USA. Richard has been a finalist for the Jerwood Drawing Prize in 2011 and 2017\, a finalist for the Cheongju International Craft Prize in 2015 and was selected to be part of the British Pavilion\, Form + Motion at the Cheongju International Craft Biennale in 2017. Richard’s first solo show will be at the Crafts Study Centre in March 2022. \nMcVetis is a graduate of the Royal College of Art (2008) and lives and works in London. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to purchase your member ticket via Eventbrite. \n\nBuy tickets\n\n\n\nClick here to purchase your non-member ticket via Eventbrite. \n\nBuy tickets

DESCRIPTION:TEXTILE SOCIETY EVENT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Textile Designer Jules McKeown will give an insight into Textile Design from archive inspiration to design ideas and print.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContinuing the Textile Society programme of online events we invite you to join us for a talk by Textile Designer Jules McKeown of the Pattern Social. Jules founded the Pattern Social in 2015 as a design collaborative working with designers and educators to promote contemporary textile design. \nJules is passionate about pattern\, colour and print. A Masters in Textile Design at Winchester School of Art specialising in Fashion Print enabled her to pursue her dream working as a print designer in London and New York. \nAfter a number of years working in industry she set up as a freelance textile designer and has worked with a wide range of clients across many product sectors from fashion\, home\, stationery\, greetings to book illustration; she has exhibited her work at international textile design events – Surtex in New York and Premier Vision\, Paris.  \nHer work is driven by a love of bold colour and clashing pattern that mixes different eclectic styles and influences; from mid-century\, slick Memphis graphics to Liberty print florals. The artwork starts off hand generated in a sketchbook or postcard combining various methodologies from collage\, mark making to simply drawing with marker pens. These are often developed digitally depending on the outcome using Adobe Illustrator\, Photoshop or Procreate. She advocates a creative and playful approach to design and as a design educator enjoys sharing her practice and techniques through her role as a Senior textile design lecturer\, visiting lectures at events\, drawing & painting workshops and most recently through Instagram\, stating ‘It is important to encourage the next generation of designers to the skills and joy of Surface Pattern Design.’ \nHer talk ‘Top tips for designers and emerging creatives’ will give an insight into textile design from archive to finished design.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to purchase your member ticket via Eventbrite. \n\nBuy tickets\n\n\n\nClick here to purchase your non-member ticket via Eventbrite. \n\nBuy tickets

Located in Uppermill on the outskirts of Manchester\, the gallery was built in 1808 and used as a weavers factory before being abandoned when the Industrial Revolution made small-scale weaving untenable. Joan bequeathed the house and studio to her dear friends and neighbours\, Nigel Durkan and Julian Bovis\, who discovered an “unbelievable” hoard of textiles going back to the 40s\, 50s and 60s. \nNigel Durkan will talk about the legacy of an incredible designer whose textile designs spanned the mid-century and longer. She took part in the Festival of Britain and her design Beachcomber is now in the V&A. \nhttps://www.weaversfactory.co.uk/ \nTime permitting there will be a Q&A. We invite you to submit a question when booking your ticket. \nThis is a fund-raising event.
