Led by Professor Judith Mottram, this project explores colour and pattern, approaches to recording skills and knowledge at risk, and cultural memory through heritage textile technologies.

The resulting exhibition Pattern / Patrwn (26 September-20 December 2019/ 5 March-20 December 2020) was a series of displays of Welsh Blankets in The Ruskin from the collection of Jane Beck, and provides a backdrop to reconsidering the role of regional identity, tourism and functionality attributed to high value textiles.
