Lindsay Taylor is investigating the design, production and consumption of Scottish Turkey red textiles, in collaboration with textile historians Liz Arthur and Mary Schoeser, looking in particular at how designs were developed for the home market and the migration of the technology to America with the Quakers. Designs from a little known archive in the Royal Scottish Museum are to be digitally recreated and will be displayed as part of a travelling exhibition, with publication, starting at the Collins Gallery Glasgow in October 2007, supported by the Scottish Arts Council and Glasgow City Council.
