A conversation with Dartmoor florist Joanna Game

What does it mean to reinterpret a traditional craft in a contemporary world?

Join Lisa King in conversation with Louis Copplestone (V&A), Rebecca Hoyes (Central St Martins) and Fiona Kerlogue (SOAS) for a panel exploring batik’s cultural origins, global circulation and renewed relevance today.
