It's the last day of the Fully Fashioned exhibition today but work by @jcmiddlebrook, inspired by the lace industry, will still be available from the shop @LakesideArts until January. We can't wait to see how her trip to Calais inspires her future work!
I’m off to Calais next week to do some research in the lace museum there. Then a little nearer to home for this event next weekend @LadyBayDMM

Wonderful to talk to a visitor to the Weston Gallery today @LakesideArts who is suffering from dementia but found that the Fully Fashioned exhibition brought back lots of memories of his time working in the Lace Market. #powerofarchives @explorearchives

An inspiring morning @mssUniNott @LakesideArts with @brightideasnott @Slavelegacies learning about the slave trade links to Nottingham's textile industry - a really useful critique of the exhibition. Clearly a group with lots of expertise to share. brightideasnottingham.co.uk/…
