Christine Woods

In 1900, when Oscar Wilde lay on his deathbed - grumbling about his wallpaper - the market for British design was enormous.

Christine Woods, Design Archivist of Sanderson’s collection of historic wallpapers and textiles, is now the UK’s only full time Curator of Wallpapers.

This talk describes wallpaper’s journey from individual sheets of hand-printed paper to large-scale, digitally produced artworks. If you have fragments of old wallpapers bring them with you as Christine may be able to tell you about their history.
