WE ARE IN THE INTRODUCTION TO THE Re-Release of 'THE SUBVERSIVE STITCH'
The Subversive Stitch is the seminal book on embroidery and feminism. The book was first released in 1984, so it has been updated for this release. An introduction sets the scene, explaining how the world of Embroidery has changed since the release, and most importantly- its current state. And in that introduction you will find us mentioned! It's a privilege to be in a book alongside Mr X Stitch and Tracey Emin.
You can buy the book in the V&A Shop at the moment as well as internationally on Amazon.

RWD MAGAZINE: April 2010 issue
We always want to reach audiences that might not talk about activism or craftivism much so we can plant little seeds in their heads. RWD Magazine targeted towards urban youth and focuses on music such as grime, hip hop and dubstep and the fashion and culture that comes with that. We are so happy they thought our swine flu masks project was accessible to their audience and therefore wrote a little piece on it for the magazine
