"Flowers" by M Fletcher
Great Britain 1938 |
The University owns a significant international collection of textiles
donated to Dundee College of Art (now Duncan of Jordanstone College, a Faculty of the University of Dundee) by the Needlework Development Scheme.
Founded in Glasgow in 1934, the aim of the Scheme was to collect examples
of contemporary embroidery from throughout the world for use as a national
teaching resource. The collection was split up when the organisation disbanded
in 1961, and is now dispersed throughout Britain.
This site provides a basic database of NDS pieces in Dundee. To find out more about the NDS, and other textile collections in Scotland visit Scottish Textile Heritage Online at http://scottishtextileheritage.org.uk
