Linda Babb and circles

Circle motifs appear frequently in the artefacts in the Corinium Museum collections. They feature in (among otherplaces) a fascinating late Iron Age gold coin depicting a triple-tailed horse, in much Iron Age and Roman jewellery, in horse harnesses and in the spectacular mosaics recovered from the villas of the Roman town of Corinium (now Cirencester). 

Following her visit to the museum, Linda has been exploring this idea for our latest exhibition in Cirencester in the summer.

She is now developing a series of small, decorative and richly coloured pieces following this theme. 

Further details of our exhibition can be found by following the link given here and with updates in our Instagram feed @brunel_broderers.

Exhibition in Corinium Museum Cirencester

Brunel Broderers will be exhibiting in the gallery at the Corinium Museum in Cirencester from 14 August to 15 September. Further details are given below. 

The textile work in this exhibition references the artefacts in the Corinium Museum's collection. They provide a fascinating picture of the history of Cirencester from neolithic times to the Victorian era and highlight especially the legacy left locally by the Romans from 80 AD onwards. 

Members have explored both the range of objects currently on show in the museum and further items in the archives while planning their approach. Several visits have been made to weigh up possibilities, take photographs and talk to members of the museum staff. 

The textile work which has developed reflects both the richness of the collection and the varied interests and approaches of the members. 

A taster is shown below.

  

Much more will follow!
