FE News reports about Hannah Lamb's project with the Brotnë Parsonage Museum:
A group of talented students has just finished work on a mesmerising piece of textile artwork ready for exhibition at Brontë Parsonage Museum and in time for World Embroidery Day on 30 July.
Textile artist and author Hannah Lamb – who is also the Programme Leader for the Textiles Practice Foundation Degree at Bradford School of Art – asked her students to help with the intricate needlework required for the unusual art commission.
Hannah said: “I was approached by the Bronte Parsonage Museum in my role as an artist to create an interactive artwork to accompany the current exhibition, ‘Defying Expectations: Inside Charlotte Brontë’s Wardrobe.’ The artwork will sit alongside this show in the Servant’s Room at the Parsonage.
“Because of the scale of the project I devised, I realised I couldn’t handle the volume of embroidery needed, so decided to see if any of my students would be prepared to help. I am both a part-time lecturer at Bradford College and a professional artist, so this project has beautifully married both of my roles!”
The project called ‘Fragment of a Dress’ involved visitors to the Museum writing a few words about an item of clothing that is significant to them. The responses ranged from commenting on everyday items that were comforting and uplifting to poignant personal stories of loss, healing, and connection.
Over two weeks, students carefully rendered the handwritten stories in embroidery, building up the words stitch by stitch. Each piece has been worked on transparent silk organza and put together in the style of a dress that Charlotte Brontë might have recognised. (Bradford College)

Edgar Allan Poe’s Murder Mystery Dinner Party (2016)
For those that have ever considered getting a degree in classics or English literature and can tolerate anachronistic comedy, this one is for you. This 11-part murder mystery party series (that even combined is shorter than most movies out) features Edgar Allan Poe hosting an exclusive dinner party with some of the most famous authors from across the (mostly white) world. The guest list includes names like Dickinson, Dostoevsky, Alcott, Wells, Shelley, Brontë, Krishanti, and many others to impress Poe’s crush. What night of comradery with famous authors wouldn’t get derailed by murder? (Alyssa Shotwell)
14.Wuthering Heights: No Kate Bush-themed quiz would be complete without a question about this novel. It was originally published under the pen name Ellis Bell. But which Brontë sister wrote it? (Martin Belam)
Yeah. I’m not a true expert on the history, but interest rates have been a thing for thousands of years. Some societies had rules where you could charge 10% interest for seven years, which means you’re paying back twice what you borrowed essentially, and that was it. Other societies had jubilees periodically, where all that would be canceled because a lot of these traditional societies understood that that exponential growth can’t continue. And if you look at old literature, actually, you’ll see they talk about people’s income. Read The Brontë Sisters or something, they’ll tell you how much somebody earned or how much things cost. That never happens anymore because every writer now knows that that is useless, five years from now, you don’t know what that even means. So we did have a long period with inflation free societies or where inflation was periodic episodes. (Josh Farley)
Jane Eyre is based on the book and life of the author Jane Eyre (!!!!!) This romantic drama, starring Mia Wasikowska as Jane, follows her as she finds her true love, Edward. Everything seems alright until she discovers that Edward has a dark secret that will change her life.Being one of the favorite versions of the Jane Eyre adaptation, fans praise it for its ability to transfer the book to screen, and with its complexity and detail, none of the intellect of the book is lost. The story is highly captivating due to the lead characters' performances, and it's one that audiences can lose themselves in. (Teodora Pancheva)
