Description
According to the famous British architect , Ricard Rodgers “Rosalind’s stitched garments are the most exquisite and compelling artworks, not simply for their rich visual quality but in the way they present a personal narrative of a particular historic time.”
Rosalind, a calligrapher and textile artist, is most famously known for her work in progress “The Stitch Lives of London”, an art textile installation incorporating historical garments and artefacts that tell the story of London in Stitch. The completed work will feature up to 100 metres long, the form of this will duplicate the ‘path and winde’ of The River Thames using 215 pieces to mark its length in miles. Rosalind's fans include Richard Rodgers, Jude Law and Baroness Lawrence and many more Londoners.
On this walk with Rosalind along the Riverfront in Chiswick we’ll find out how The Stitch Lives of London relates to the Thames. Rosalind was brought up nearby in Bedford Park (before it got all posh and gentrified). It was one of the first garden suburbs, along with Hampstead and she lived in a Norman Shaw house, which her parents renovated from scratch. Her original training was calligraphy which was enlivened in the 19/20th century by Edward Johnston who lived in Hammersmith mall along with his buddies of the Arts and Craft movement.
London, and the life that the Thames breeds, feeds into what Rosalind does and is, and she’ll endeavour to show us how. The walk will start at Rosalind's studio lit by the light that comes from her south facing garden and off the Thames. There Rosalind will discuss about the technique of ‘writing with a needle’ but also feeling part of a tradition of craft without being bound by it. Guests on this walk will also enjoy the opportunity to see some of the work for Sticth Lives of London. From there Rosalind will lead a walk through Chiswick during which she'll discuss the legacy of the Arts & Crafts in the area, viewing points and river architecture that have inspired her and her acclaimed work.
The walk will end with tea and cake at Annie's Restaurant located on the river.
