The Archive as Pattern, People and Place
Join Donna Claypool in exploring the importance of Bolton Museum's extensive pattern book collection, complete with original artworks, and translating this archive into human experience. Throughout the talk, you will learn about Donna's journey from designer-maker at Manchester Craft and Design Centre to Programme Leader in Textiles and Surface Design at the University of Bolton.
Donna's PhD highlights the significance of the Joseph Johnson collection at Bolton-based mid-century woven furnishing fabric company, housed within the Bolton Museum Archive. Through her creative practice, Donna examines the value of this archive for its insight into objects and patterns, and as a reflection of designs for mid-century domestic interiors.
