Learn more about Richard’s career in textiles
Richard Humphries’ journey within the textile manufacturing industry began in the mid-1960’s. He was apprenticed into the textile trade as a design trainee with the well-established and renowned firm of Warner and Sons Ltd.
His own business began when he was still just 20 years old in Sudbury, Suffolk. Today he sees the interest in British made fabrics rekindled, as demand for high quality continues to grow.
Richard’s talk will bring to the forefront the inheritors of the silk weaving traditions of Spitalfields and reveal the success of sumptuous silk.
Tickets are available from Eventbrite priced at £5.95 (including booking fee) and also includes a wine reception.
