A busy week for our senior students who visited the Glucksman Gallery to view the current exhibitions ‘A Stitch in Time’ and ‘The Knitting Map’.
Their two favourite pieces were ‘War Carpet’ and ‘Comfort Blanket’.
”War Carpet’ was created by Sissi Farassat an Austrian- Iranian artist. She hand stitched hundreds of crystals into canvas to create this picture of military helicopters and weapons.
The ‘Comfort Blanket’ was created by Grayson Perry in 2014. It shows how an artist uses textiles and its link to popular culture.
‘The Knitting Map’ was created by more than 2000 knitters from 22 countries who came together to participate in creating an enormous textile piece.
