  • African Lace
    Introduction Does changing an original material destroy its traditional context? If a material assumes new meaning or significance in a new context, is this inherently an appropriation of the object? What loss does this cause, and is it a positive change, a negative one, or neither? This lexicon revolves around African Lace. Through an analysis of this particular material, I broadly explain, craftsmanship, authenticity and reasons behind an object’s creation, including why and how it is made, from which materials, and how the object translates into a specific environment. Various kinds of objects are created in and relate to specific places and time periods. If situated in an environment in which it did not originate, the meaning of an object changes. In fact, the object is used from a new perspective. Although it is possible to reuse an object as a source of inspiration or research, it cannot be used as it was in its previous context. Thus, it is necessary to rethink the authenticity of an object when it is removed from its past context. History is important and can explain a materials origin, and it therefore warrants further attention. A lack of knowledge results in a loss of authenticity and originality of a historical material. In view of this, I develop this Lexicon to elaborate on the importance of this historical attention. It is interesting to consider how an object can influence a user in relation to emotional or even material value. The extent of this influence is uncertain, but it is a crucial aspect since any situation could diminish the value and the meaning of an object.

  • Madeira Embroidery
    Blackwork Journey Inspirations Madeira Embroidery Madeira is an island located in the Atlantic Ocean west and slightly south of Portugal. The capital of Madeira is Funchai on the main island’s south coast and it was to Funchai, the capital that I travelled to explore the history of Madeira embroidery and find some modern examples of this traditional form of whitework embroidery. The hand embroidery of Madeira is generally recognised as being the finest of its kind available in the world. Over the last 150 years, Madeira has collected expertise from the fast disappearing regional centres of hand embroidery across Europe and moulded these various styles into a distinctive form of handwork recognised throughout the world. The Development of Madeira Embroidery The story began in the 1860’s when a wine shipper’s daughter, Elizabeth Phelps turned the rural pastime of simple embroidery into a cottage industry using her skills to motivate, organise and sell the work of the embroiders to Victorian England. In the 1860’s it was estimated that there were 70,000 women embroiderers (bordadeiras) in Madeira working on linen, silk, organdy and cotton to create table linen, clothing, bedding and handkerchiefs. Today there are about 30 companies producing handmade embroideries employing around 4,500 embroiderers. During the 19th century the main exports were to England and Germany. In the 20th century Madeiran Embroidery was exported to many parts of the world. Italy, the United States, South America and Australia became important markets. France, Singapore, Holland, Brazil and other countries also contributed to the trading expansion of and reputation of Madeira Embroidery.

  • Remembering Ricamo Italian Embroidery
    GALLERY76 EXHIBITION GUIDE AN EXHIBITION OVERVIEW CURATOR: APRIL SPIERS AUGUST 2020 WATCH THE LIVE WALKTHROUGH AND CONVERSATION WITH FIBER TALK VIA https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KF6Gc8AF9VE&feature=youtu.be RETICELLO Reticello (Italian, “small net”) is a variety of needle lace which arose in the 15th century, first recorded in Milan 1493, and remained popular into the 17th century. Reticello was originally a form of cutwork (where threads are pulled from linen fabric to form a grid on which the pattern is stitched primarily using buttonhole stitch) Later reticello used a grid made of thread rather than a fabric ground. Reticello is characterised by a geometric design of squares and circles and geometric motifs and is traditionally worked on white or ecru fabric. It is regarded as a forerunner of punto in aria. One of the contemporary champions of the style is Giuliana Buonpadre who established an Embroidery School in Verona in order to preserve the knowledge and skills involved in traditional Italian embroidery. Under her Karen Little guidance, Giuliana’s students have taken these traditional Reticello techniques and introduced a contemporary twist with the introduction of coloured threads. We have a number of these coloured pieces worked by Guild member Karen Little, along with a number of traditional pieces in this exhibition. Also known as: Greek point; reticello; point coupé; point couppe; radexela; radicelle Tina Miletta PUNTO ANTICO Punto Antico (Italian, “Antique Stitch) dates as far back as the 15th century and was known by a variety of names including Punto Toscano, Punto Reale, and Punto Riccio. The style did not became known as “Punto Antico” until the early 20th century.

  • Advanced Diploma Academic Year Fine Whitework
    ROYAL SCHOOL OF NEEDLEWORK 2019-2020 ADVANCED DIPLOMA ACADEMIC YEAR FINE WHITEWORK ‘Whitework’ encompasses a diverse range of techniques, whose execution spans history from earliest times to the present day, linked by the common theme of neutral threads worked on a neutral ground. The term ‘fine whitework’ can be used to refer to any form of whitework embroidery which has been executed on a fine scale. However, at the RSN, the term refers to a technique which facilitates combining the principal forms of fine scale whitework within one piece of work. This fundamentally allows exploitation of the full potential of the whitework ‘tonal scale’ from solid, sculptural techniques, through to the most translucent or open. AIM – to design and work fine whitework embroidery encompassing key techniques of the whitework tonal scale from solid to open work on one piece of fabric. A fine whitework embroidery demonstrating effectiveness of design for purpose and a high level of skill in execution of the stitches. MATERIALS: The ground cloth is a linen batiste or cambric. Two weights are available to select from: fine and very fine. The necessity to count the linen threads for this work should determine this choice. Two layers of linen will be used in parts of the design, one in others. A layer of net will also be sandwiched between the layers. A choice of fine, nylon conservation net, or heavier cotton bobbinet can be made, again according to ability to count the segments of the net. Threads. The following may be used: white stranded cotton, white cotton à broder (various sizes), white cotton perlé (finer sizes only), DMC floche à broder (for padding only, unless all other threads used are also DMC), Brok Egyptian Cotton lace threads in a range of sizes, Belgian ‘Egyptian Cotton’ lace threads in a range of sizes.

Most cutwork designs follow a similar three-step process. First, the design outline is stitched. After the outline is complete, the hoop is removed from the machine, and then the fabric inside the outline is trimmed away. After the trimming is complete, the hoop is placed back onto the machine to stitch the remaining design. The four projects included in this e-book are sure to get your creative juices flowing. Create a stylish blouse in “A Cut Above,” an adorable Easter table runner in “Bunny Trail,” a sassy asymmetrical top in “Fashion Forward” and a cute bag in “Simple Chic: Straw Flow- ers.” These four inspiring projects will make you a cutwork pro in no time!
