The Story of the Cloth

Dieses Angebot ist abgelaufen.

From the spinning wheel to the Industrial Revolution

What do spinning wheels and slave labour have in common? - They both used to play an essential role in the process of textile making.
Looking at the ancient craft of weaving, I will take you on a colourful journey through centuries of social life and trade in Britain. How did weavers live and work in early times? Who marketed their products, and what were textiles used for? Cloth-making has always been an outstanding art, it is beautiful, exciting, creative - but there is also a dark side: childlabour, poverty, even slavery. Textile manufacturing was one of the driving forces behind the Industrial Revolution, which completely changed the face of Britain. Come and join me on that journey of beauty and darkness, learn about traditions, technology, and art.
