Rebecca was one of 14 leading East London-based textile designers invited to participate in this exhibition at The Cass Bank Gallery, London Metropolitan University, funded by the Arts Council. The designers created original works responding to the rich heritage of the Huguenot silk weavers who made Spitalfields a leading textile centre in the 17th Century.

Access to original archival material at the Victoria & Albert Museum enabled Rebecca to take inspiration from the Huguenot silk weavers’ swatch books. Drawing on the graphic way in which the ancient silk swatches were presented and on their unexpectedly vibrant colours, Rebecca’s work presented a modern reinterpretation of the archives.
