SUMMARY:Zoom | 100 Things to Wear: Fashion from the Collections of the National Trust
DESCRIPTION:©National Trust Images/Andreas von Einsiedel \nThe National Trust looks after more than 40\,000 pieces of dress or costume\, including objects of national significance. Some pieces belonged to people who lived or worked in the Trust’s historic houses\, while others belonged to unknown individuals. From luxurious attire to practical everyday working clothes\, the NT’s assemblage contains examples of women and men’s fashions\, children’s clothing\, and accessories. While the collection represents 500 years of fashion trends and innovation\, it also offers something more intimate than just evidence of material survival; it is a repository of the life traces of tens of thousands of people. Emma Slocomb\, Senior National Curator of Dress and Textiles at the National Trust\, will introduce her new co-authored book 100 Things to Wear: Fashion from the National Trust Collections (Fall 2025). Informed by new research and photography\, she will share a selection of the most significant collection items—from the opulence of the Tudor period to the tailoring of the Windrush generation. She will explain how the way people dressed reflected their social power\, political tastes\, and personality. Finally\, she will delve behind the scenes\, illustrating the work of the Textile Conservation Studio team. \nEmma Slocombe is the National Trust’s Senior National Curator for Dress and Textiles and has been a curator at the National Trust since 2006. Her principal interests lie in early modern textiles\, furnished interiors\, and histories of textile recycling and repurposing – subjects on which she has published widely. She is currently leading projects that explore the manufacture\, exchange and repurposing of a broad range of dress and textiles. Recent publications include ‘Textile Transmissions: Repurposing church vestments in the Reformation’ (National Trust Cultural Heritage Magazine\, Autumn 2023) with Professor James Clarke (Exeter University). She also co-leads research into ‘Histories of Childhood’ with Professor Sian Pooley (Oxford University)\, and authored ‘Fashion at Play: An 18th century doll at Dudmaston Hall’ (National Trust Cultural Heritage Magazine\, Spring 2024). \nTickets: FREE for members*; $15 non-members\n*Membership discount applied automatically when logged into your Royal-Oak.org account

SUMMARY:Zoom | Arts & Crafts Connections: The Yeats and Morris Families
DESCRIPTION:Standen House\, West Sussex ©National Trust Images/James Dobson \nTwo of the most influential artistic families of the late 19th and early 20th centuries—the Morris’ of England and the Yeats’ of Ireland have rich and fascinating connections. Their relationships offer a compelling window into the shared ideals of the Arts & Crafts movement. At one time the families were neighbours in London and their proximity created personal ties which helped shape Irish and British arts\, design\, and cultural identity. The earliest link between the families might have been when John Butler Yeats sketched William Morris during his lecture at Dublin’s Contemporary Club in 1886—a fleeting encounter that marked the beginning of deeper artistic and ideological connections. Lily Yeats learned embroidery under the tutelage of May Morris and went on to produce exquisite work for Morris & Co. The influence of Morris’ philosophy is especially evident in the founding of the Dun Emer Guild in 1902 by Elizabeth and Lily Yeats and Evelyn Gleeson. This women-led cooperative sought to revive traditional Irish handicrafts. The sisters’ later enterprise\,Cuala Industries\, further revived Irish culture through utilizing fine printing and embroidery. Jessica Fahy will trace this incredible creative legacy that bound the two families together. She will illustrate beautiful examples of the Yeats sisters’ works and examine how their collaboration with Morris’ ideals shaped an international vision of art that was both socially purposeful and aesthetically enduring. \nJessica Fahy is a freelance art historian. She sits on lecturer and guide panels for the National Gallery of Ireland\, the Hugh Lane Gallery and UCD School of Access and Lifelong Learning. She gives both private and public talks and tours across Ireland and abroad. She is active online covering all areas of Western Art from the 14th century to the present day. She is a regular contributor to RTÉ Radio 1 arts show Arena. She has a MLitt in Art History from UCD where she also received her undergraduate degree. She completed her MA in Italian Renaissance Art at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London in 2007. \nTickets: $15 members*; $25 non-members\n*Membership discount applied automatically when logged into your Royal-Oak.org account
