If you want to learn more about Lorina Bulwer, there are multiple excellent resources: Ruth Battersby, who spoke at the event at Gressenhall, is Senior Curator of Costume and Textiles at Norfolk Museums Service, oversees several pieces of Bulwer’s embroidery, and focused her PhD dissertation on Lorina’s work. You can listen to an interview with her on Sew What Podcast Dolly Sen has written a short book about Lorina Bulwer published by Red Herring Press, and has recently received funding from Arts Council England to pursue further research into Bulwer’s embroidery through the lens of Disability Studies Dr Isabella Rosner🧵🪡 also featured Lorina as a case study in her book Stitching Freedom: Embroidery and Incarceration, published by Common Threads Press (who were also present at the Gressenhall event!)
