Welcome to this month's Travels with Textiles, the podcast just for Friends of Haptic & Hue, with Jo Andrews and Bill Taylor. This episode has the tang of seawater about it as we explore the Shetland Islanders' method of fulling their cloth in rocky coves and pick up the story of a silk dress found in a chest on the seafloor off the coast of The Netherlands: who did it belong to and how did it find itself at the bottom of the sea? There's also a macabre new textile book of the month, a chance to win a handmade huswif or sewing roll, and a new exhibition of textiles created by artists like Picasso, Matisse, Barbara Hepworth, and Elizabeth Frink. Come on a new journey with us as we swim through the world of textiles in this latest episode.
