Criminal Quilts is an exhibition of textile artworks and research created by Ruth Singer inspired by photographs and documents relating to women held in Stafford Prison 1877-1916.

Ruth created this work during her Artist in Residence at Staffordshire Record Office, and working with volunteers and communities to explore stories of the female criminals.

The exhibition will be located within the prison cells in the museum, and can be visited as part of paid entry.

Try some of the techniques at Ruth’s Embroidery Workshop on Saturday 21 March 2020.
