PICK BY PICK Margo Selby explores Rochester’s Huguenot Heritage Rochester Art Gallery and The Huguenot Museum have announced their first partnership exhibition featuring textile artist and designer Margo Selby. The exhibition includes her handwoven framed textiles as well as new pieces made for the show and an archive of her design work. The pieces included are created using the French technique ‘Lampas’. A Lampas is a wooden structure that was used by French weavers to create intricate brocade fabrics.The practice was developed in England by Huguenot refugees. Director of the Huguenot Museum, Dinah Winch, explains, ‘Huguenot silk weavers came to England as refugees from religious persecution from the 1680s onwards. They created some of the most technically daring and exquisite silk fabrics in the world, transforming the English textile trade.’ Margo completed her education with a postgraduate degree at the Royal College of Art, and following her graduation in 2001 she began her career as a woven textile designer for industrial mills. During her time there she united her hand woven creations with industrial machinery to create her trademark three-dimensional fabrics. Now Margo uses Lampas weaving structures to create modernist works. The exhibition showcases the extensive portfolio that Margo has built during her 15-year career, as well as showing the preparatory work that goes into hand weaving. The Huguenot Museum states that they are ‘delighted to show the work of a modern weaver in historical context.’ Pick by Pick, 95 High St, Rochester ME1 1LX, 15 December 2017- 24 February 2018 SELVEDGE 7
