10.01.2022 Did you know pinking shears were invented by a woman? They were patented on January 3, 1893 by Louise Austin of Whatcom, WA. A copy of her patent and antique shears are on display as a part of our current exhibit Cut from Different Cloth: The Art of Women's Handwork.

09.01.2022 In 2009 Brilish artist Kirstie Macleod, with seed capital from the British Council, embarked upon a global embroidery project called the Red Dress Project. Betw...een 2009 and 2019 the dress travelled the globe being continuously embroidered by over 120 artisans. The embroiderers include refugees in Palestine, victims of civil war in Kosovo, Rwanda and DR Congo, individuals in South Africa, Kenya, Japan, Paris, Sweden and Peru, upmarket studios in Bombay and Saudi Arabia, artists in Wales and Colombia alongside initiatives to support women in poverty such as Missibaba in Cape Town, South Africa, and FanSina working with Bedouin embroiderers based in the mountains above St Catherine's in Egypt's Sinai. This is both an extraordinary work of collective art and profound and eloquent social commentary. It is also an example of how potent the Attire language is capable of becoming. See more
