My journey into researching medieval goldwork embroidery began over ten years ago. It is an ongoing labour of love, one that I am deeply grateful for. Over the years, I have had the privilege to visit originals, stitch replicas, and study other people’s research into this fascinating art form. The course you are embarking on is the culmination of this research, and your enrolment not only supports my future endeavours but also validates the importance of this field. I am truly thankful for your interest and hope to share this journey with you.
This course offers a unique blend of practical and academic learning. You will have the opportunity to work on eight samples of common goldwork techniques, mirroring those seen in actual museum pieces. The materials you will use are carefully selected to match the original ones. On the academic side, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of medieval goldwork embroidery, placing it in its societal and religious context. This is an exciting opportunity to delve into the world of historical embroidery like never before. This course is part of a monthly or yearly membership. Become a member!
