the show in the library at NUA looks good and provides a number of links between the library (books) and the project (sketch books). http://nucalibrary.tumblr.com/post/64767366270/les-bicknell-lecturer-in-ba-textiles-at-nua-is

There is a small display of some of the background to unpicking and rebinding in the library at the Norwich University of the Arts Library. It includes textual research, notebooks and some models. The books from the collection at NUA are from across a broad range of subjects including architecture, fashion, design and fine art. Traditional smocking is included as the starting point for the project. It supports the one day exhibition in the gallery next week.
