This is a great opportunity to learn a new skill and to think about how embroidery and applique were used as political tools.

A reminder that you can see Nora Waugh's classic title via Bloomsbury Dress and Costume Library. Students: ask your library for access, as this is a crucial resource for costume designers entering our upcoming PoF and PfP awards!

The creative industries are a British strength. But their future is in jeopardy. 9 out of 10 creative businesses struggle to attract highly skilled talent. The number of students taking arts GCSE has fallen by 40%. At @UAL, we've launched a Commission to see what can be done

So what did Vikings really look like? TV/movies tell us they looked like dollar-store biker gangs, wearing black leather, covered in dirt and allergic to colours... but in reality... they looked like 1970s pop singers. Seriously, thread time.🧵 Photo: Roberto Fortuna

Has any comedy sustained itself as well as Ed Reardon’s Week? Series 15 has just finished - all still up on BBC Sounds - @Chrishdouglas had to write the last eps alone after the sad death of Andrew Nickolds and it remains a zeitgeist-tickling, self-knowing joy week after week
