  • Copyright Law and Quilted Art, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L
    THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW PATCHWORK PROTECTION: COPYRIGHT LAW AND QUILTED ART MAUREEN B. COLLINS ABSTRACT Historically, quilts have been denied the same copyright protection available to any other expression in a fixed medium. When quilts have been considered protectable, the protectable elements in a pattern have been limited, or the application of the substantial similarity test has varied widely. One possible explanation for this unequal treatment is that quilting is viewed as 'women's work.' Another is that quilts are primarily functional. However, quilts have evolved over time and may now be expensive collectible pieces of art; art that deserves copyright protection. This article traces the history of quilt making, addresses the varying standards of protection afforded to quilts and concludes that consistent and comprehensive protection is needed for this art form.

PATCHWORK PROTECTION: COPYRIGHT LAW AND QUILTED ART MAUREEN B. COLLINS * INTRODUCTION When is a quilt a blanket and when is it art? This question takes on greater importance as the universe of quilted art expands and changes. Once relegated to attics and church craft bazaars, the quilt has come out of the closet. Today, quilts are found in museums 2 and corporate headquarters. 3 They are considered to be among the most collectible "new" forms of art. 4 Quilting is a multi-million dollar industry. 5 Handmade quilts fetch asking prices in the tens of thousands of dollars.

  • The Employment of Matter: Pottery of the Omega Workshops
    Julian Stair The Employment of Matter: Pottery of the Omega Workshops Among professional artists there is … a vague idea that a man can still remain a gentleman if he paints bad pictures, but must forfeit the conven- tional right to his Esquire if he makes good pots or serviceable furniture., Pottery design in Britain at the beginning of the twentieth century was consid- ered to be in a perilous state, caught between the tail end of the Arts and Crafts movement – the ‘unornamental “ornaments” with which thoughtless people crowd their living rooms’* – and the unchecked might, or ‘decadence’,- of Stoke-on-Trent.. Christopher Dresser’s striking ceramic designs for Minton and the Linthorpe Art Pottery in the ,//0s had rarely escaped a stifling his- toricism; William de Morgan finally gave up potting to write novels in ,10+; and only a few small independent firms such as the Ruskin Pottery, which specialised in flamboyantly glazed vases in imitation of late Chinese porcelain, continued production (fig. ,., p. */). Despite the success of the Arts and Crafts movement in revitalising handicraft, pottery did not enjoy the success of other disciplines. As Alan Crawford writes, ‘pottery and weaving … before the war had been somehow less spectacular than the movement’s furniture and metalwork’.2 Although capable of embodying the immediacy of handwork, the transformation of the artist-craftsman’s sensibility into clay proved elusive. In this context, why did Roger Fry encourage the Omega Workshops to venture into the unfashionable and technically challenging

  • Alef-Bet Patchwork Quilt
    Women’s League for Conservative Judaism CH #24 ALEF BET INSTANT PATCHWORK QUILT Patchwork and quilting are two separate arts that were combined by the early settlers of this country to make beautiful quilts. Patchwork is very simple, requiring only accuracy in making the units. The sewing of patchwork consists only of a straight seam. Quilting is the process of sewing the layers of quilt together by hand. Patchwork and quilting, while pleasant to do, take time and patience – but are indeed worth it. Instant patchwork quilting is fun to do, for in no time at all, beautiful and lasting easy care quilts, comforters and throws can be made for loved ones. The quilts can be made quickly because you use material with a patchwork design for the top layer of your quilt (there is no need to sew squares together). This patchwork material may be bought at your yard goods department or you may use a “patchwork design” sheet found in the line department. Bed sheets are excellent to use for both top and lining of your quilt. If you buy the no-iron sheets, they are practically care-free and come in widths to fit all beds. MATERIALS: 1. Patchwork material – fast dye, cotton fabric. 2. Lining – fast dye, cotton fabric of same good quality as top. 3. Scraps of plain colored material for alphabet. 4. Long needle with large eye. 5. Small ball of matching or contrasting yarn. 6. Batting – enough for 1 or 2 layers (I used two for added puffiness) 7. Dining room table or large work table.

  • History of Quilting
    History of Quilting When the first settlers came to this country they brought with them their quilting skills. New fabric was hard to come by, so fabric for clothing and for quilts had to be used and reused saving as much as possible from worn clothing. Thus the patchwork quilt was born. Scraps of fabric were cut into geometric patterns that fit together into larger blocks of design. Many of these patterns have been passed through generations, created by the ingenuity of our ancestors and traded within communities. Names for particular patterns sometimes changed as they moved from one part of the country to another, reflecting the environment within which it was named. (i.e. a pattern called the pine tree pattern in Connecticut might be named bear’s path in Ohio). Quilt making is an art form that both individuals, as well as groups of people participated in. From the lore surrounding quilt making we learn that parents passed the skills for quilt making on to their children at a very young age. The children would start with small patches of fabric, and learn to sew the very fine stitches needed for beautiful and elaborate quilts. Historically, quilting has generally been practiced by, and associated with women. This could be because the sewing skills needed to make a quilt have always been an integral part of women’s lives. Learning how to sew was such an important skill for girls to have that it was taught and practiced in the home and at school. Women of all classes participated in this form of expression.

  • ICRC Bloomsbury in Dorset
    Bloomsbury in Dorset: Manufacturing Modernisms at Poole Pottery 1914-1939 James King Abstract This essay evaluates the pursuit by Poole Pottery (the firm was called Carter, Stabler and Adams during most of the time period discussed here) of a variety of modernist aesthetics from 1914 to 1939 and argues that Poole's incorporation of various types of modernist fine art into its wares owes a great deal to its association with the Omega Workshops in the 1910s. Poole's involvement from about 1914 to after 1916 with Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant may be well documented1, but this essay speculates that Poole's indebtedness to the Omega Workshops and its adherence to Post- Impressionism is more pervasive and longer lasting than previously argued. More specifically, it also argues, that in the instance of Poole's most celebrated designer, Truda Carter, the Bloomsbury influence was transformative: when she arrived at Poole, she refined the work of James Radley Young, who had worked directly with the Omega Workshops. His geometrically inspired designs did not ultimately suit her, and she achieved her own distinct look by incorporating high modernist and post-impressionist design in her wares. In using the term high modernist, I am referring to pottery that deliberately incorporates borrowings from cubism and vorticism as design elements; I use the term Post-Impressionist to refer to design elements that specifically utilize naturalist elements while at the same time exaggerating them to push them in the direction of abstraction. KEY WORDS: Truda Carter, modernism, Post-Impressionist design, Poole Pottery ‘A More or Less Experiment’ Poole stood apart from its competitors because of its location in Dorset, far removed from the Potteries in Staffordshire.
