Black British Needlework Traditions - EnquiryGreetings!
I am an African American quilter and researcher. I'm completing a comprehensive, seven- chapter sourcebook on African American quilting to be published in 2002.
I am interested in learning more about Black British (African, Caribbean, British-born) needlework and quilting traditions. I'd like to understand if and how culture is incorporated into the needlework or quilting. I would like to learn how the traditions are passed along to other generations, if at all. I would like to know who the leading Black British needlework textile artists may be.
I would greatly appreciate cooresponding with Black British needlework enthusiasts, textile faculty and students.
I would also love to read any magazines and articles that highlight the work of Black British needlework and textile artists. I don't have easy access to the British magazines here in the US.
Many thanks
