Description: | This afternoon tea cloth and napkins set were hand made by students at Edmonton Technical College during their many trips into the air raid shelters in 1944. The items were given to the donor's sister by Mrs. Winifred Goldman, a former teacher of needlework at the school who trained students to become top class needlewomen to work at British fashion designers such as Norman Hartnell and Hardy Amies. During the air raids, the students and staff had to spend quite a lot of time in the shelters. As the girls could not take their usual work with them, each was given a square of fabric with hem-stitch to adorn. Each girl initialled their square and they were eventually assembled into this cloth. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Enfield Museum Service | Rights holder: | Enfield Museum Service | Subjects: | Art and Design | Temporal: | 1944 | Source: | Enfield Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
