In 1866 the Secretary of State for India presented to Huddersfield Mechanics’ Institution a set of 18 volumes containing 700 working samples of cotton, silk and woollen textiles obtained from different parts of India. The samples were prepared with the purpose of exhibiting to English merchants and manufacturers interested in the Indian trade specimens of all the important textile materials used by the people of India.
This creative workshop will explore the collection samples offering you the opportunity to create your own response to these wonderful patterns.
