Designing the walls of the new National Portrait Gallery

Gainsborough Silk Weaving have a long-history of weaving wool, using both traditional and modern electronic looms, and we were excited to work with them on the new fabric wall hangings at the NPG.
Hear from Lucy Peltz, Senior Curator of 18th Century Collections, and Neil Thomas, Managing Director of Gainsborough Silk Weaving, on how they took inspiration from the artworks on display to design the fabrics and colours.
