Abstract:

This exhibition presents archival materials alongside products developed by the Centre for Advanced Textiles, Archives & Collections and Department of Fashion & Textiles at the Glasgow School of Art (GSA), inspired by the work of mid-20th-century female designers represented in the School’s archive.

The textile designs of GSA alumnae Sylvia Chalmers (c1928-2008), Dorothy Smith (1923-2008) and Margaret Stewart (fl c1940s-) demonstrate an eclectic mix of vibrant colours and abstract patterns. Some of these designs have never been previously produced as textiles but are now being adapted for 21st century use. Cushions and tea towels are for sale and fabric can be ordered by the metre.
