The Acupictrix can usually be found in one of three places: 1) Behind her slate frame working on the latest embroidery sample, 2) with her nose in an embroidery book, or 3) visiting medieval textiles on display and leaving her nose prints on the glass of the display case (sorry!). All three activities result in a fresh weekly blog post on Medieval Goldwork Embroidery and related topics.

Get to know the Acupictrix – Dr Jessica Grimm and her Medieval Goldwork Embroidery
Like many of you, my embroidery adventure started at a young age. No one quite remembers when or who taught me, but both my paternal grandmother and my maternal grandfather were avid embroiderers. Unaware that one could carve out a career in embroidery, I opted to go to university and study archaeology. Eventually, my archaeology career brought me to England, and I became a Royal School of Needlework tutor. And the rest is history, as they say. Medieval history, that is :).
