TTOD175 Exploring 17th Century Objects as Makers and Researchers

£8.50

SKU: TTOD175 Category: Tags: , , , , ,

This is a recording of a live online event held on Wednesday 12 March 2025.

The seventeenth century was a golden age in the history of English embroidery, a period when girls at school, women in the home, and professional embroiderers in workshops were using lustrous silk and metal threads, seed pearls, coral, and beads to adorn everything from samplers to mirror frames.

In this talk, RSN Curator Isabella Rosner and RSN Studio embroiderer, Tutor, and Fellow Marg Dier focus on seventeenth-century English items in the RSN Collection, discussing how they would approach each object as a researcher, a stitcher and conservator. The pair will be in conversation, discussing a stumpwork casket panel, a glittering floral composition, and a variety of other early modern objects.
