Stumpwork Embroidery Stumpwork Embroidery Inspired by Tudor Textiles Week Holiday
Description
Stumpwork is a three-dimensional embroidery technique which became very popular in the 16th and 17th centuries and was used on book bindings, mirrors, pictorial embroideries and most famously caskets. We will take inspiration from historical examples, looking at design, history and the use of stitches. During the week you will be able to work on your own piece of embroidery and include a variety of hand stitches, raised work techniques and needlelace. Course runs from Dinner on Sunday to Lunch on Friday. Tutor Information Annette Bolton studied City and Guilds in a variety of subjects covering beading, hand and machine embroidery, Stumpwork, mixed media and design.
