Welcome back to Travels with Textiles after our summer break. This is the monthly podcast just for Friends of Haptic & Hue, hosted by Bill Taylor and Jo Andrews, it brings you textile news from around the world, information from listeners, updates from previous podcasts, and previews of podcasts to come. This month we move the Haptic & Hue podcast HQ from Dorset in the UK to Padua in the Veneto region of Italy and we explore what lies beneath some of the most famous paintings in the world.
We took a long summer break from podcasting to go exploring, and this northern summer we travelled Britain from Cornwall to the North of Scotland in search of textile stories. Hear about the treasure trove of wonderful vintage and artist's textiles in Cornwall, a city in the west of England that is telling its history through a special costume made by the community, to the derelict harbour-side shop on the North East coast of Scotland that houses a wonderful textile secret.
We also explore the secret of artists' canvases: what lies beneath the paint isn't as simple as you imagine. These are linen textiles sometimes of great complexity. All this, plus exhibitions and textile news, including details of why Haptic & Hue will be coming from Italy for the next few months.
