Metal Thread Embroidery by Jane Lemon

Metal Thread Embroidery by Jane Lemon

Metal thread embroidery is one of the most stunning and exciting techniques available to the embroiderer. From pre-historic origins in the East, the skills travelled slowly west, reaching a peak in England with the great medieval period of embroidery. Today metal thread is still used for ecclesiastical and ceremonial items, but embroiderers also delight in using the beautiful threads in more experimental ways. Jane Lemon has used her considerable experience in the technique to update her classic work on the subject. Illustrated throughout with over 200 colour photographs, the book guides the reader through every technique, with clear diagrams, step-by-step explanations and photographs of finished work. In a comprehensive A-Z format, the book includes: Finished pieces and articles which have been embroidered with metal thread Tools and equipment needed, including any specialist requirements Details of various threads, wires, silks, velvets and other fabrics and material used A practical and comprehensive guide to all techniques, including information on design terms and period style

Jane Lemon worked in theatre, and then for eight years as a costume designer for television. She is a member of the Practical Study Group of the Embroiderers' Guild, an experienced teacher and lecturer on embroidery and a founder member of the Sarum Group, formed in 1978 to design and work ecclesiastical embroidery. Their work for Salisbury Cathedral is particularly well known. Jane lives in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
