Synopsis

Exploring goldwork and metal thread work, this book traces the history of the technique in Britain and Europe, illustrated with full-colour images of gold-embroidered costumes and textiles from museums and private collections. Many of the featured pieces are noted as previously unpublished or not widely seen.

Alongside the visual survey, fifteen original projects draw on historical references and demonstrate contemporary approaches to goldwork. With coverage described as spanning every aspect of gold embroidery, it is designed for readers looking for both inspiration and structured project work.
