Dress historian Amber Butchart takes her partner, illustrator Rob Flowers, to Braintree Museum in Essex, where they uncover the area’s strong textiles heritage and explore what fabrics and design can tell us about society over time. As they discover an exhibition of book illustrations and pore over luxury velvets in the neighbouring Warner Textile Archive, they learn about the skilled makers behind each piece and reflect on their own interests and inspirations as creatives.
