@archivesteph I must make a start on mine! I guess I'm also saving it for a blanket day...

[Sarah Colborne @S_Colborne]

@TheSarahManton thanks for the loan of the beautiful banners for the Fully Fashioned exhibition! Let me know when you're in your studio so I can bring them back. Thanks, Sarah

It's the last day of the Fully Fashioned exhibition today but work by @jcmiddlebrook, inspired by the lace industry, will still be available from the shop @LakesideArts until January. We can't wait to see how her trip to Calais inspires her future work!

Wonderful to talk to a visitor to the Weston Gallery today @LakesideArts who is suffering from dementia but found that the Fully Fashioned exhibition brought back lots of memories of his time working in the Lace Market. #powerofarchives @explorearchives

[mssLakeside @mssLakeside]

An inspiring morning @mssUniNott @LakesideArts with @brightideasnott @Slavelegacies learning about the slave trade links to Nottingham's textile industry - a really useful critique of the exhibition. Clearly a group with lots of expertise to share. https://t.co/N9sXfkTy4D

[mssLakeside @mssLakeside]

There are still a few spaces left on these 1 hour workshops suitable for all ages 5+ using vintage Nottingham lace designs

[mssLakeside @mssLakeside]

If you can't wait for Lustre, check out these gorgeous gifts @LakesideArts by the talented @Rolling_Roses, @jcmiddlebrook and @DebbieBryanShop, inspired by Nottingham's textile heritage displayed in conjunction with the Fully Fashioned exhibition @mssLakeside

[Sarah Colborne @S_Colborne]

Fascinating to talk to a female lace designer today!

[mssLakeside @mssLakeside]

On our Lace Market tour we were all delighted to find in our midst a lady who had studied lace design at the Nottingham School of Design in the 1940s @NTUArtandDesign and who had worked as a lace designer in the Birkin Building! @EzekialBone @Spenbeck1981 @TalesTextile

My exhibition! I've really enjoyed doing all the research, meeting lots of wonderful curators and business women, and getting behind the scenes tours of collections and factories.

@GedlingBC Just picked up the Heritage Brought Alive leaflet on the history and heritage of Gedling Borough - it's brilliant! So informative with a useful map and bus route diagram. Made me proud to be a resident - so many places I've yet to visit - keep up the good work!
