British Asian Style

Spotted by very keen library goers in the V&A Shop today (the National Art Library at the V&A is THE place to go. This is the first day back in a scholarly routine...) Just published by the V&A - British Asian Style.
Featuring a chapter from Bridging Arts on Stitch and The British Sari Story.
This book is the result of the V&A project Fashioning Diaspora, in collaboration with Royal Holloway London. Funded by theArts and Humanities Research Council.

The Asian Women's Group visit the Knitting and Stitching Show

The show opens. And the first visitors from Wandsworth are the Asian Women's Group who are delighted to see their embroidery. Centre of this picture is Safia Qureshi who (with her sister Zubaidah Shah) loaned rare fish scale embroidery which fascinated many visitors. To her right is Violet, who works daily with the group.
