There's lots of amazing stuff brewing with my textile-based collective, Pulling Strings. A few weeks ago our newest project, The Pulling Strings Reference Library, had its soft launch at Needlework. A growing collection of eclectic textile-related publications have been installed in Needlework's window along with a cozy chair for browsing and lounging. After April, the library will become an ongoing fixture at Needlework as a semi-permanent community reference of textile art, theory and how-to books, zines and catalogues both old and new, weird and wonderful.
There are other great library goings-on happening until the end of April as well. Every Tuesday and Thursday, our blog will feature reviews of books from the personal collections of some of our textile heroes. This series kicked off last week with reviews by Robyn Love, Kate Jackson and Grant Heaps with many more lined up (previews of a few of the books that will be featured above!). At the end of April, we'll have a reading event at Needlework where an impressive group of textile enthusiasts will read aloud from their fave textile books. More details to come soon!
