Darning Brooch

Picture
‘The girls had a more difficult life than the boys. Much more of the housework was asked of them - even to darning the boys’ socks.’ The book Unbroken Community The story of Friends’ School clearly illustrated the gender difference which existed in early educational institutions. This brooch subtly recognises the girls struggles while celebrating traditional craft skills and tools. The constructed, three dimensional form aimed to capture the lightness of fabric and bring a life-like quality to the thimble, needle and pins.
