Game of Thrones project unveiled
The Embroiders’ Guild in collaboration with the Royal School of Needlework, Fine Cell Work and Hand &Lock have been involved in the creation of a truly impressive piece of contemporary 3-D embroidery to mark the release of the 5th season of “Game of Thrones” on DVD, known as the “Hardhome Embroidery”. A huge variety of textile skills were involved in making the piece including digital print, surface stitch, machine embroidery, metal thread work, beading, applique and quilting. The first 2 day showing last week was given out at very short notice. The EG website will keep us informed of future viewings - www.embroiderersguild.com |
