  Eternal Embroidery Stitching Retreat at Coombe Abbey, Coventry  Tuesday 14th - Wednesday 15th August 2018 - Medieval embroidery at Coombe |
| Price: £245 (materials included, accomodation extra)  I will be joining Angela, Eternal Embroidery in the beautiful settings of Coombe Abbey for this two day stitching retreat! As befits a medieval setting, we will be trying our hand at medieval embroidery; We will look at the history, and practice the skills used, of the medieval embroidery technique of Opus Anglicanum (English work). Famous across Europe, this technique marks the highest point in embroidery's development, producing vestments, frontals and other items for the church and adorning royalty and nobility. The apprenticeship to work these fine pieces took seven years and used only the best of materials including gold threads, pearls and gemstones. We will retreat back to medieval times for two days looking at two of the main techniques used, split stitch shading and the goldwork underside couching technique. Using these methods, we will reproduce a face from the past like those that adorned many of the beautiful Opus Anglicanum pieces. Booking open, click here!
