The Fabric of Flowers - Gardening with Silk and Gold Thread

Our interest in gardens has so much to offer us and in this series of talks by The Gardens Trust, we are taking a sideways view by exploring how gardens and flowers have influenced and inspired other arts and crafts. This is the fifth in a series of 6 focusing on textiles and explore some of the historical and technical aspects of embroidering, weaving and printing using floral designs on fabric. The sereis looks at textiles from Elizabethan crowns to Edwardian table linen to see how flowers provided inspiration, taking in the prolific art embroiderers of the Arts and Crafts Movement. We will then be brought bang up to date with two contemporary embroiderers with very different approaches to floral imagery who will share their design processes with us.
