EG Talking Threads - A talk between Jayne Emerson and Libby Ashdown.Jayne Emerson is the founder of the ‘No Rules Textile Society’ which focuses on exploring new techniques and ideas and ‘what if’. Libby Ashdown is one of the few makers of passementerie in the country and creates ‘playful art works’. Both are passionate about their work and sharing their discoveries with others and putting a modern spin on traditional and historical practices.This should be an exciting exchange of ideas and the chance to see two great makers exploring what-ifs, happy accidents, and the cross-pollination of textile techniques, along with their art and plans.
