Sewing that says something...
In July I went to the Tolpuddle March and I was blown away by the beauty and skill of the Trades Union banners.
An important part of our cultural heritage that is being forgotten, along with the brass bands.
I would love to curate an exhibition of these one day - and maybe even help to make one!
I'd love to know more about the traditions and symbolism of the banners too.
Here I am with my local Trades Union Council banner. A work of art and a part of our political and social history too.
Fabulous! They're amazing aren't they :)
ReplyDeleteHi Stephie, yes, I could have looked at them all day!
