The history of women in the textile industry will be explored in a new project.

Working in partnership with Epping Forest District Museum and Lowewood Museum, Broxbourne charity The Gifted will deliver a female empowerment textiles project called The Clothmaker’s Wings, exploring the industry from 1790 to 1890.

The project aims to give a voice to women key to the industry but now forgotten, and bring their stories alive.

It will end with an exhibition at Lowewood Museum in summer 2019.
