Ep 4

Welcome back to the Cloth Cultures podcast series. Join Amber Butchart as she explores the Lancashire Textile Gallery, a new online resource that brings together objects and artefacts held by museums, archives and manufacturers from across the county.

In this episode, Amber heads to Blackburn to speak to museum curator Caroline Wilkinson about a collection of textile swatches and designs by a now closed local company called Birtwistle and Oddie. Amber is also joined by Richard Croasdale who shares some of his recollections as a loom fitter in the 1950’s and 60’s, and artist Joseph Ayavoro to talk about his cross cultural textile project.
