Althea McNish 'Painted Desert' Magnet

This square magnet has been exclusively produced for the Whitworth to accompany the new exhibition Althea McNish: Colour is Mine, a touring exhibition from the William Morris Gallery. McNish was the first Caribbean designer to achieve international recognition and one of the most influential and innovative textile designers in the UK.

Presented on a vibrant backing card, the magnet featuring Althea's Painted Desert design makes the perfect souvenir.
