Stitch - embroidered landscapes
Glynn Christian, Britain’s first tv chef and now a historical novelist, kindly brought along his extraordinary collection of embroidered landscapes to our classes in the Battersea. They have been collected over the decades, bought in markets and junk shops. “Though I’m a writer, I’m useless with my hands I can’t do this kind of thing, but I so admire people who can,” he said. “They were not only stitched by people but designed by them.”
These landscapes really inspired people. Click on the images below for a web gallery. To move from one image to the next, click in the top right hand corner.
