We’ll be having a section in our exhibition on repair and conservation. This stunning piece has quite a few holes from deterioration of the base silk. It’s been mounted onto netting and there is a small tear which is sewn up almost like a wound. 😥 #embroideryresearch #embroidery #heritage #heritsgelotteryfunded #touchingstitches #handembroidery #needleworkdevelopmentscheme #embroideryarchive #conservation #textileconservation @edinburghuniversity @edinburghcollegeofart @ecatextilesdepartment
