Tatting, knotting, knitting, pin-tucking, crocheting, pinking, stitching, stuffing, embroidering … needles fly when Museums of History NSW Soft Furnishings volunteers converge twice a month at Elizabeth Bay House to create, re-create and maintain existing furnishings for our historic houses.
This conversational session will demonstrate the deep knowledge and curatorial rationale underpinning the work of the group.
Drop-in and see the Soft Furnishings volunteers at work in Elizabeth Bay House.
Hear spot talks by coordinator Joanna Nicholas and see original sources from the Caroline Simpson Library: pattern books, household guides, trade catalogues, domestic and upholsterers' manuals, along with a rich array of materials, silk, calico, moreen, glazed chintz, horsehair, holland, vellum, straw and possum skin.
This event is part of the Sydney Craft Week Festival 6-15 October 2023.
SCW is an Australian Design Centre initiative. View the complete festival program.
