Celebrate the launch of Lynn Setterington’s new book Connecting Threads: Tactile Social History at The Whitworth this January. The book describes the author’s life in stitch, how an artist-embroiderer works and thinks creatively, how projects are managed and take shape and some of the hurdles encountered. Setterington said: “Embroidery today is celebrated, practised and appreciated by people from all different backgrounds and walks of life, and its value as a connecting thread and vital accessible global communication tool is finally being recognised.”
