From the Embroiderers’ Guild collection, Sew Dainty celebrates the beauty and skill of producing textiles on a small-scale.
This exhibition explores how miniature stitches and tiny designs are used to express creativity in the form of embroidery. From a finely worked First World War silk postcard, an embroidered 1600s coif panel, which is alive with tiny caterpillars, to intricate tiny shoes and hens perched on nests, these objects will ask visitors to look closer and appreciate the extraordinary detail hidden in the smallest of things.
In addition to the announcement of this exciting new exhibition, the Embroiderers’ Guild Gallery has relocated downstairs into a new space just off the Discover Bucks galleries.
