Alice Hattrick - author of Folkestone favourite Ill Feelings - is back with her latest book: Fancy Work. An exploration of embroidery that defies the dominant narratives about the art form. This beautifully crafted book stitches together archival fragments, domestic spaces and ongoing sites of struggle, insisting on the political force of often overlooked acts of defiance.
Alice will be interviewed by friend of the shop, Elizabeth Lovatt whose own work ties together historically overlooked communities and the connections that bring queer women together, and whose own interests include embroidery and feminised, oft demeaned crafts.
Tickets are £5, which acts as a deposit against anything purchased on the night. Books are available to pre-order at a special discounted price - if you order a book, you will be emailed when the book has arrived and is ready to collect.
