Inspiring women for #InternationalWomensDay Gunta Stölzl, the only female Master at the Bauhaus, she changed the teaching of woven textiles. I love her collaborations on chairs with Marcel Breuer and her exuberant textile designs! #iwd2018#guntastolzl
All of @ElectraRD's work focuses on raw natural materials & she applies them in a way that pushes each material & emphasises their raw characteristics
See her work in our Main Gallery exhibition @SecondSitters 'Upholstery: Evolution to Revolution' until 15 Apr
#SecondSitters
It's been #100years since some women were given the right to vote, so we are shining a spotlight on our current exhibition Upholstery: Evolution to Revolution, curated by 2 women upholsterers @SecondSitters & featuring both male & #female#upholsterers at the top of their game!
#Upholstery is still considered a masculine trade, but the majority of new learners, teachers & independent upholsterers are now actually women! #AMUSF#SecondSitters#Suffrage100
