About this event

This talk is part of the lecture programme accompanying ArtConTex, a major textile event being held at The Minories from October 2nd to 5th 2025.

Join Juliet as she looks at the story of the excellent Mrs Mary Beale(1663-1699) and her extraordinary life during a chaotic period in history that encompassed the execution of a king, civil war, plague and fire. Find out how and why I have chosen to tell this story through stitched textiles.
