Green Men and Wild Women – Medieval Embroidery

Sunday 28 January, Sunday 10 March & Sunday 19 May 2024, 10.30am–4pm

Practical course of three full-day sessions with Tanya Bentham, embroiderer and author.

Medieval art, especially the embroidered art of laid and couched work (Bayeux stitch) and the fine needlework of Opus Anglicanum (English work) have at their heart a rhythmic use of colour. This simple and elegant economy of colour and line brings life to the images recreated. Over the three days of this practical course, you'll learn about the techniques used in this fine medieval embroidery art form and get the chance to reproduce images of The Green Man and traditional medieval wild women.
