Square silk scarf screen printed and hand worked by designer Caitlin Hinshelwood. The designer was inspired to create this design by a visit to the Museum. The design includes a chicken laying eggs, a tractor, corn dollies, a saw, shovel, and a figure from a gingerbread mould. The scarf is orange, pink, black and white in colour. The edges have been hand stitched.

Email from Caitlin Hinshelwood to Adam Koszary, 5 June 2017 - ... The museum had been on my list of places to visit for years. My work often references folk practices, traditions and crafts and I'm always drawn to work of unknown or little known makers so I knew your collection would hold some gems for me. I also absolutely love a museum display of tools! ..., Email from Adam Koszary to Oliver Douglas, 28 November 2017 - ... there was the Fordson tractor, the gingerbread mould in Gallery 5, some of the farming implements in Gallery 2 and some corn dollies., Letter from Caitlin Hinshelwood to Adam Koszary, n.d. [December 2017] - Thank you for your purchase. I am so thrilled this is going into the MERL collection. I am sure this won't be the only piece I develop based on the material you hold. Best wishes, Caitlin
