CLASS DESCRIPTION
Who is that pretty lady with the stake and hammer in her hand? Who is on that Casket? Embroiderers are intrigued with needlework of the 17th and 18th centuries. But who is that woman holding the big flower? Is that a Bible story? Which flower is that? Recognizing themes can make your stitching more meaningful. In this class you will use images and stitching to bring to light the world of the Renaissance embroiderer.
Explore the motifs of 15th , 16th, and early 17th English embroidery
- Why were the motifs chosen: a proposal based on Old Testament stories.
- Who were the young embroiderers? Their context, their life, and education?
- Where did they get their motifs, threads, fabrics?
Using a combination of images and hands-on projects we will gain an appreciation for the Renaissance embroiderer. The small hands-on projects include counted and surface embroidery, not duplicating their work, but with a contemporary nod to their skills.
The resulting reference book will continue giving insight into your future exploration of Renaissance needlework.
