SUMMARY:James Hamilton ‘Meet the Author’
DESCRIPTION:This event is now fully booked. \nJoin us at Gainsborough’s House for the Suffolk launch of James Hamilton’s new book Gainsborough\, A Portrait \nThis exhilarating new biography – the first in decades – reveals Gainsborough in his many contexts: the easy-going Suffolk lad\, transported to the heights of fashion by a natural talent; the rake-on-the-make in London\, learning his art in the shadow of Hogarth; falling on his feet when he married a duke’s daughter with a handsome private income; the top society-portrait painter in Bath and London who earned huge sums by bringing the right people into his studio; the charming and amusing friend of George III and Queen Charlotte who nevertheless kept clear of the aristocratic embrace. \nThere has been much art history written about this chameleon of art\, but with fresh insights into original sources\, GAINSBOROUGH: A PORTRAIT transforms our understanding of this fascinating man\, and enlightens the century that bore him. \nAuthor Information\nJames Hamilton is an art and cultural historian. His books include TURNER: A LIFE\, FARADAY: THE LIFE\, shortlisted for the James Tait Black Memorial Prize\, and A STRANGE BUSINESS: MAKING ART AND MONEY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITAIN\, which in 2014 was named Art Book of the Year by the SUNDAY TIMES. \nHamilton was until retirement in 2013 curator of art collections and projects in Portsmouth\, Wakefield\, Sheffield\, Leeds and the University of Birmingham\, where he is a Fellow of the Barber Institute of Fine Arts. \nRead more about James and his books at https://www.jhhamilton.co.uk/index.htm \nFree event\nPlease be aware that places are limited\, please call to reserve a ticket

SUMMARY:New Acquisitions: Lady Helena Rawdon’s Three Pastels
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition in our Lift Gallery\, displays a group of three pastel drawings and can be attributed with some certainty to the talented draughtswoman Lady Helena Rawdon\, née Perceval (1717–46). They were originally presented en suite with a rare image of a female pastellist at work\, possibly depicting Lady Helena herself. Accompanying the portrait of A Sybil\, this display includes copies of the Four Seasons made by Lady Helena after the Venetian Rococo painter Rosalba Giovana Carriera (1673–1757)\, entitled Winter and Summer. \n

SUMMARY:Silk: From Spitalfields to Sudbury
DESCRIPTION:The market town of Sudbury in Suffolk has a surprising history. Regarded today as Great Britain’s most important centre for silk manufacture\, Sudbury produces nearly 95 per cent of the nation’s woven silk textiles from its three working mills: Vanners Silk Weavers\, Stephen Walters & Sons and Gainsborough Silks. Dating back to the late 1700s\, Sudbury’s nascent silk industry was facilitated by the town’s former history as a wool centre\, to which many family members of the Sudbury-born artist Thomas Gainsborough\, R.A. (1727– 1788) plied their trade. \nThe exhibition Silk: From Spitalfields to Sudbury (17 June – 8 October 2017) will explore the local and national history of silk in England from the eighteenth century to the present day\, focussing on the diaspora of silk manufacture from Spitalfields in London to Sudbury in Suffolk. In the first part of the exhibition\, the formation of the English silk industry in Spitalfields in the early 1700s will be examined\, highlighting the important Huguenot silk weavers who formed the basis of this work force. Objects displayed will illustrate the processes of design and manufacture\, and include everything from silk pattern books and historic costume to paintings and drawings featuring silk fashions of the era. \nIn the second part of the exhibition\, the focus will turn to the relocation of silk manufacture from London to Suffolk over the course of the nineteenth century\, exploring the history of Sudbury’s silk mills and the textiles they produced. Objects on show from the town’s three mills\, in addition to the Sudbury manufacturer Humphries Weaving\, will illustrate the many types of silk made in Sudbury\, past and present – from furnishing textiles for historic palaces to contemporary design fabrics made for major British fashion houses. \nThis exhibition will draw together artworks and textiles from both national and local collections\, including the Victoria & Albert Museum\, Norfolk Museums Service and the Warner Textile Archive. As the childhood home of the artist Thomas Gainsborough situated at the very heart of the nation’s active silk industry\, Gainsborough’s House is ideally placed to tell this important story of silk in England: from Spitalfields to Sudbury. \nImage: A Page from the Wilson Album from Vanners Silk Mill
