Dutch darning sampler, early 20th century. TRC 2014.1006

Darning has long been a skill required from women in order to mend garments and household textiles. This necessity developed into an art form called decorative darning. This workshop looks at the history of decorative darning, while the practical element allows partipants to challenge their weaving and embroidery skills.

The workshop will be given by Joke van Soest, free-lance embroidery teacher.
