Here we celebrate designers, artists, practitioners or researchers working with textiles who have otherwise been under-represented within curriculums, the history of textiles, and are likely to be rarely mentioned in classrooms.
Please take time to get to know them and be inspired by their diverse approaches to textiles and textile processes.
