The Design Decoration Craft site, which although having outgrown its blog status some time ago, was set up as an educational support and compliment to anyone interested in the history of textiles in its broadest form, offering a free and extensive image and video library, as well as a comprehensive list of written articles that are continually being added to, as well as a daily listing of contemporary aspects of design, decoration and craft that can be found on its twitter, facebook and google+ sections. Design Decoration Craft is now moving towards a more interesting phase of its life where it will offer an increased and expanded format that will incorporate a number of formats from ebooks that will deal with a whole range of subjects connected to the history of textiles and creativity in much more detail than has been possible with the blog posts, as well as a wide-ranging daily creatively inspirational range of links and posts on twitter, facebook, google+ and tumblr. It is hoped that this will prove a useful set of tools in which to both question and understand some of the more fundamental aspects of the history of textiles in its many disciplines, and the individuals and cultures that have added to the rich and varied subject of textile design, decoration and craft as well as how they are placed within a contemporary context to influence and complement.
