V&A
On display at the V&A from January - June 2012 were the world’s largest pieces of cloth made from spider silk. Included were a brocaded shawl made from the silk of more than one million female golden orb-weaver spiders collected in the highlands of Madagascar, as well as a cape which was on public display for the first time.
The first video below shows Simon Peers and Nicholas Godley discussing the complexity of this unique 3 year project. The second video is about the process of creating the cloth itself, from extracting the silk from the spiders, spinning the threads and weaving to embroidering the finished piece. |
