Inventors of Tradition

This exhibition celebrates Scotland’s textile industry from the 1930s to the present day.

It brings together samples of textile design from Scotland’s designers and textile companies, a series of documentary films about these companies and new works inspired by these archives by the artist Lucy McKenzie and designer Beca Lipscombe (Atelier).

From Glasgow Green to Bendigo – a film about James Templeton & Co Ltd – is part of the exhibition, as are a number of items from the Stoddard-Templeton Design Library, which is held by Glasgow School of Art Library.

You can find out more here, or visit the exhibition at 21 Stockwell Street over the next month (it closes 26th February).
