Past Event

Join author Esther Rutter as she unpicks this history of wool-crafts in Britain from the link between knitting and protest to the legend of identifying fishermen by the knit of their jumpers. Rutter will share her story of travelling up and down Britain to discover the stories behind the traditional craft and how attitudes have shifted toward these intimately hand-made pieces over the past century.
