During this show at the end of 2016, Fenton House was imaginatively brought to life by contemporary artists whose works convey the story of the Gee family, silk and linen merchants, who lived here in 1730. I was asked by Traces London to take part in this show, and was proud to display a stitched garden trug with matching trowel and fork, an iron, a tea set, an inkwell and some of my embroidered Auriculas. Please see the attached PDF for more details of this fascinating show, which featured in the Financial Times.
