Connecting Threads brings together twelve textile projects by Lynn Setterington, made between 1981 and 2024. Each one works as a social history document: tactile evidence of the untold stories of people on the margins, of unexamined histories and overlooked places.
Lynn Setterington is a major British textile artist known for her hand-stitched quilts and embroideries, and the book shows each project alongside the people and places behind it. Paperback, 170 x 240 mm.
For anyone who uses stitch to record a place or a community, it shows how that work gets made and who it is made with.
