Sussex, Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft, A 90th Birthday Celebration for Hilary Bourne, 1999
Hilary Bourne was an arts and crafts weaver in the Sussex village of Ditchling during the second half of the 20th century. Ditchling was the noted home of Eric Gill's Guild of St Joseph and Dominic – a loose community of makers, established on medieval and Catholic principles. In 1985 Bourne, together with her sister Joanna, founded the Ditchling Museum to celebrate the village's rich artistic heritage (today the Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft, currently one of six nominees up for the Art Fund prize of UK Museum of the Year).
