Stephen Ellcock’s Book of Textiles

”““Stephen Ellcock’s Book of Textiles is an inspiring and enigmatic journey through the world of pattern and cloth held in Thakar’s hands.”“”“Ellcock is well-placed then to search out the eye-catching, significant and quirky works that turn this book into such a hugely enjoyable read, although undoubtedly delving into any area of Thakar’s acquisitions would result in stimulating finds.”“”“It is difficult to leaf through this book without saying ‘wow’ over and over, which means this is definitely top of the Christmas reading list.”“” - Embroidery Magazine
