Embroidery Studio The Ultimate Workshop Design Technique and Inspiration
Author: The Embroiderers' Guild

'Embroidery Studio' takes an exciting new approach to embroidery technique and design. Its twenty-seven contributors are among the UK's top embroiderers and teachers, and they have provided valuable insights which will enable aspiring embroiderers to widen their skills and increase their creativity. — Each contributor has developed a new piece of... more » work specially for this book, using as inspiration an historical embroidery from the Embroiderers' Guild Collection -- British, European, Middle Eastern, Asian or Oriental. The new embroideries and the historical pieces are described in detail and shown in glorious colour photographs, which emphasise the rich variety of design among world embroidery and the range of avenues for today's embroiderer to explore.

Then each embroiderer explains her working methods, the development of ideas and motifs from the original, and the choice of techniques and stitches. There is a great deal of practical information (with working and step-by-step diagrams) covering fabrics and threads, using design motifs, choosing and working techniques and stitches -- and even using a computer as a design tool.

This immensely practical and visually stunning book is sure to become an invaluable aid for all creative embroiderers -- and a spur to new achievements.

'Embroidery Studio' was conceived and written by members of the Practical Study Group of the Embroiderers' Guild. the PSG was formed in 1973 and comprises some of the most eminent and best known practitioners and teachers within the Guild, including authors of many recent books, researchers in historical and foreign embroidery and professional embroiderers who work to commission and exhibit nationally and internationally.

The aim of the group is to promote and extend the practice and enjoyment of embroidery, and to this end tutors can be booked for day schools and residential courses throughout the country. Regular exhibitions are held to show finished work.
