Funds from the Textile Society’s textiles fairs held in London and Manchester go towards the six annual bursaries and awards to textile historians, students, curators and conservators.
One of the society’s 2018 bursary winners is Yusra Makhdoomi, a postgraduate student at the Royal College of Art, for her vintage textiles collage invoking her Pakistan heritage.
Makhdoomi will be among the bursary winners showing their work at the society’s upcoming antique and vintage textile fair on Saturday, October 13, at Chelsea Old Town Hall, London SW3.
