Designing and Printing a Crest for the Edmonstone's Sisters

About this event

The Edmonstone Sisters of Walton Hall - Petticoat Patrimony, with

The Forgotten Women of Wakefield

Sandal Library

Friday 20th May

1-3pm

Edmonstone's Sisters Crest

Who are the Edmonstone Sisters and how did they contribute to the running of the Waterton Estate? Join this Forgotten Women of Wakefield Workshop to learn about their lives and the types of women they were. You will firstly design and then print, using natural materials, the humble potato, an image which captures the essence of the Edmonstone Sisters.

Anne Mary Waterton's (nee Edmonstone and wife of Charles Waterton) story is voiced here as we look at the wildlife and the countryside at Walton Hall, where she lived, and died.

Petticoat Patrimony looks at the significant contributions made by the sisters, Anne, Eliza & Helen Edmonstone, women in Charles Waterton's life. Their stories have hitherto been the victim of historical patrimony and as the women were direct descendants from the royal line of Aawak Indians on Demerara they were also women of colour. The sisters legacy as surrogate mothers to Waterton's son Edmund and custodians of the Waterton estate, have been forgotten. This project seeks to remedy this and is working with a range of BAME researchers and artists to highlight the heritage of the sisters and challenge gender and racial stereotypes linked to women and slavery.
