Can you believe episode 20 is already here? Fungi-inspired fabrics. Anna Stoane is a Multidisciplinary Textiles Designer who recently graduated from Edinburgh College of Art.
Anna’s graduate collection The Hidden Kingdom was inspired by ten species of fungi and their marvellous fruiting bodies. As part of her research for this collection, she visited the RBGE Herbarium to study and photograph a selection of fungi specimens. Fungi and mushrooms have always fascinated Anna, and her explorations started by reading Roy Watling’s Fungi book.
She was inspired by images of clouds of spores being dispersed, mushrooms and elf cups with raised and distorted grids and caged structures, clusters of puffballs, organic wood-like grains, patterns and textures, crinkled and shrivelled mushroom edges and folded gills. Anna uses techniques and materials that stretch the boundaries of textile and fashion disciplines. To Bead or Not to Bead: Historic Beadwork of England and the Americas. Whatsup stitches!!

Rosie Lee Tompkins: A Retrospective. Rosie Lee Tompkins (1936–2006) is widely considered one of the most brilliant and inventive quiltmakers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
Her reputation has grown to the point where her work is no longer considered solely within the context of quilting, but celebrated among the great American artistic achievements of our time. Rosie Lee Tompkins: A Retrospective is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of the artist’s work to date, featuring approximately seventy quilts, pieced tops, embroideries, assemblages, and decorated objects. It reveals Tompkins to be an artist of extraordinary variety, depth, and impact. Born Effie Mae Howard in 1936 in Arkansas, the artist later adopted the pseudonym Rosie Lee Tompkins. She learned quilting from her mother as a child but did not begin to practice the craft seriously until the 1980s, when she was living in the Bay Area city of Richmond.
