Judi 3Judi Grant is returning to continue her talk to the Friends which she gave in 2013 on a miscellany of objects from the American Museum in Britain chosen by the Curator to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of its foundation.  We will have the opportunity to hear details of more of this particular selection, to which she will add some of her own favourites.

Judi has had a life-long interest in textiles and history and qualified from Loughborough and Nottingham as a teacher in Design and Textiles.  She joined AMIB initially as an Education Guide twenty years ago, developing a broad knowledge of the historic rooms and the relevance of their contents, but in later years has become more involved in practical work for the curatorial department with a particular interest in the extensive textile collection.
