I enjoyed
this exhibition at the Craft Study Centre (CSC) celebrating 66 years of
textiles at what is now the University for the Creative Arts Farnham. It
includes selected student work as well as historical and contemporary pieces
from the collections of the Textile Department and the CSC. The Department is a
centre of excellence for the teaching of weaving and printing, but inevitably I
was attracted to the lace and the lace like. I was particularly taken by this lovely
Shetland lace ring shawl – so fine you can thread it through a wedding ring. I
was impressed by the fine knitting and by the fact that the wool was hand spun.
How can anyone consistently spin wool that fine – amazing.
