Whitework: The Versatile Enhancement
This is a recording of a live online event held on Wednesday 17 January 2024
This fascinating talk begins with looking at the fabric of Whitework, initially linen and then cotton and then we take a journey through the various roles of this fine embroidery technique as adornment, as accessory, as domestic enhancement to its role in the church.
Dr Susan Kay-Williams, CEO of the Royal School of Needlework, explains how Whitework was worn by men, women and children and we see some fascinating examples not just from extant textiles in the RSN Collection but also in art.
