About the Event
This workshop “Blackwork” will explore the Trevelyon manuscript, including the Elizabethan world at that time, the importance of the English Renaissance aesthetic and how that translated into needlework, and how blackwork embroidery exemplified all of that
As with all of our workshops, it will be focused primarily on lecture but will include a kit and instructions which will allow you to explore period materials and techniques
It is the first part of a multi-part series on the Trevelyon Manuscript entitled “Stitching the Trevelyon”
This is based on the workshop we presented at the 2016 EGA National and we’re really excited to be bringing it to a wider audience online
