The Birth of the Cosy
As part of my most recent course at the Glasgow School of Art, we visited the Archive, which was fascinating! I had asked to see some textiles, so they had looked out some interesting objects, including a collection of tea cosies! I immediately decided that I wanted to go down this completely bonkers route in order to create something for our exhibition in the Reid Building. I based my design on The Heart of the Rose, by Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh. The original has at its centre a rather scary looking baby, so I changed that to a Mackintosh rose design. It took forever to make, but I loved doing it!
