#ICYMI: Underpaid artists have become caretakers for communities that commissioners want to say they’re supporting. @elebelfiore asks: whose responsibility is it to push for the change we so desperately need? https://t.co/yANO6KWUFx

One for the Hive mind - can anyone tell me the name of the artist who sewed beautiful repairs on tears in fabrics on the seats of public transport, possibly in Mexico city? I've spent too long searching and the name has truly escaped me...

I redye linens & mend holes with contrasting threads or cut up for quilt/textile pieces. Linens/Cottons/Silks & Wools can all be re-used. Julia x

Cov artist Julia O'Connell makes her US debut today! @TextileSoc Warp Speed (10am US/3pm London). She talks about The Visible Maker, her live craft theatre show in which she used her Nan's 1919 Treadle sewing machine hooked up to an @arduino & her mac to reveal family stories.
