Busy Hands - the devil’s in the details

29 June – 10 August 2019

Guest curator and local artist, Linda Brescia, delved into FCMG’s textile collection to select the finest examples of female handicraft. Doilies, hats, lace collars and a nineteenth century dress and quilt are amongst the works on display; all the result of a pair of busy hands.

This exhibition honours generations of women who devoted their time, attention and skill to create intricate details in everyday items.
