Event Full: The Necessity of the Needle: Historical Embroidery in England

Join us to discuss needlework from early modern England in the 16th and 17th centuries.  We'll use this time to examine extant embroideries, as well the patterns, pattern books, and other inspiration for amateur and professional needleworkers.  This visually rich lecture will include a wide variety of images to explore the importance of textiles to women and society as whole.
