Elizabethan Stitches- an investigation into 16th & 17th century needlework
Research from books and text-based archives tells a story about the past, but the detailed examination of surviving artefacts in museum collections has provided a new ‘story’ – challenging our ideas about how needlework was produced during this era. This talk looks at the detective work, and the secrets that these beautiful objects have to reveal.
