Ethnic Socks and Stockings (Lecture)
In this wonderful and rare lecture from Priscilla Gibson-Roberts, she’ll take you on a journey through one of the great passions of her life, the exquisitely patterned, intriguingly constructed socks of the Middle East and Eastern Europe. This collection of socks and their history has been partially documented in her book Ethnic Socks and Stockings, but this opportunity goes further and deeper into this important area and its sock history. Join us as Priscilla brings us images, her knowledge and best of all, her personal collection of mostly handspun socks, and the types of needles used to make them. Question period to follow.
