Description
Discover the art of Opus Anglicanum, a medieval craft treasured by European royalty and clergy. This practical guide reveals how two simple stitches can create complex and sophisticated results using silk and gold thread.
Learn new techniques through 14 projects that progress in difficulty, from stitching faces, hair, and hands to wings, animals, and landscapes. The book also explores the art's authentic use of colour, shading, and detail, with detailed reproductions of original pieces and some with a contemporary twist.
Concentrating on the heyday of Opus Anglicanum from the 12th to 14th centuries, this guide provides in-depth instruction for stitchers of all levels. Explore the art's golden age and unlock its secrets with Tanya Bentham's expert guidance.
