ERTF Present Owen Jones is an exhibition travelling around the Eastern Region during 2011/12 with the aim of forging links with museums and galleries. The accompanying workshop programme is to promote textiles both to schools and the wider public.
During 2009/10, ERTF studied the work of Owen Jones both at the Warner Textile Archive in Braintree, Essex and the V&A in London. Owen Jones was an influential 19th century architect and designer, probably best known today for his publication, The Grammar of Ornament.
Formal study sessions were arranged then members worked on their pieces at their own pace using the inspiration gained from their sketches, photographs and writings worked up during the study sessions. A blog was used t
o share ideas and thoughts as the participating members were spread throughout the region.
The resulting exhibition is the response ERTF members have given to the decorative designs and motifs of Owen Jones. Some of the exhibits have responded purely to the decorative whilst others have given thought and consideration to his design theories. This makes for an eclectic and diverse exhibition.
The exhibition is accompanied by members’ sketchbooks and design work.
