Gawthorpe Arts & Crafts Poppies Kit
by
Deborah Wilding
This vibrant design replicates a very special Art & Crafts embroidery in the Gawthorpe Textile Collection archives.
The original embroidery, which is a large item perhaps used as a hanging or table cloth, has been cleverly interpreted as a mirrored design by Deborah Wilding, who has recreated the embroidery in DMC stranded cotton, providing students with an accessible way to learn and enjoy silk shading techniques in complex shapes across this painterly design.
