After the AGM, Ashley Gray will give us a talk entitled Textile Revolution: The post war female designers whose vision and vitality changed our world.
This will be a celebration of the female textiles designers who brought Britain into a world of colour following the dark days of World War 2. Textiles that revolutionised design for all time.
Ashley Gray, Director of Gray M.C.A an international Gallery specialising in Fashion and Textiles presents a textile story of drama, colour and innovation. The history of Britain is intricately woven together with the history of textiles. Post War there was a desire for change, colour, and inspiration in the home. This energy and innovation was led by women textile designers destined to revolutionise design world-wide for decades to come. This lecture celebrates their vision that successfully brought Modern and Contemporary art into the home through their designs, truly democratising Modern Art by making it literally a part of the furniture.
