Mrs E. E. Munro Advanced Needlework Course Eight card folios, hand drawn coloured garments to front wraps with detailed patterns in the contents; With two ring binders containing 'a Record of Work Collected', and one other folder, in fantastic condition, circa 1950. (11)This fascinating collection of evidence for the 'Advanced Needlework' course is an extremely charming example of fashion and folk art from the mid-20th century. Mrs Munro shows that she not only has a skillful hand, but also quite the organised mind. The card folios with drawings of said garments are a particular highlight. The 'Folder for a Quilted Dressing Gown' has examples of the needlework required for the dolphins as well as the patterns. Surely, this would have taken hours of work.The largest of the ring binders is packed full of coursework, showing Sewing Stiches, Plain Seams, Smocking, Tucks, Lace, Appliques, Shadow Work, English Quilting, Silks, Linens, etc, together with pages dedicated to varieties of wool, cottons and types of needle amongst others. It appears that Mrs Munro was/is a very skilfull lady indeed.
Clive CARTER (1941-2006) Workings of a Cornish Mine Pumping House Pen and watercolour, signed and dated 1985, 75cm x 55cm, 83cm x 63cm framed. Clive Carter (1941 - 2006) was born into a family of Cornish miners and engineers. Having studied at Redruth, Penzance and Falmouth Art Schools he initially earned his living working at Holman’s in Camborne, and then on a freelance basis, allowing him more time for his painting. Throughout his life he continued to take his inspiration from Cornwall’s industrial past and present – ships, mine-works, buildings and machinery. He painted demolition crews, miners, fishermen and dockers, in his own vigorous and vivid style. He was also an author of several books on the local history and industry of Cornwall. His paintings show a very different Cornwall from his contemporaries, avoiding picture-postcard views or intellectual abstraction. Informed by his ever-growing knowledge of local history, particularly of wrecks and mines and his preference for being out in stormy, cloudy weather, his work matured as he absorbed the wealth of subjects around him in West Penwith where he and his family lived. Helston Folk Museum hold a part of his collection.
