First lecture from Ben Owen Jones - Medievil tapestry.
The series of lectures are based on a theme of how textiles relate to the human body.
I initially found the lecture interesting as I have little knowledge of tapestry, and the inclusion of it's history gave it another angle. I have always found history fascinating, so this was a refreshing lecture, slightly away from the main CTP focus I am used to.
Ben used language that a lot of us were not used to, but definitely improved our vocabulary!
However, I don't think medievil tapestry is that relevant for me personally. I prefer more printed, designed textiles, rather than maker/artist. But overall, I felt it was really good to learn about some of the background of textiles. It was definitely a very thorough insight, coming away from the lecture I felt I knew a lot more.

Hi laura
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of printed textiles interest you more?
perhaps you could put a link up to some, or include images of designs that you like.
