Jacket, by Anna Cady

This silk jacket was designed and made by the artist Anna Cady between 1981 and 1982.

The fabric for the jacket was woven with pale blue spun silk warp and vivid filament silk weft, giving a 'shot' effect. It was then quilted in two inch wide vertical strips to form an asymmetric design.

During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
