Join Mike Parr as he presents a fascinating encore review of the work done by Cynthia Jackson and him on the Broderers\u2019 Crown \u2013 a modern reproduction of a crown for the Warden of The Broderers\u2019 Company that was in a poor state of conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Broderers\u2019 Crown is a rare example of the intricate, important work of a sixteenth-century professional embroiderer. The office of master of the Broderers\u2019 Company held significant responsibilities, and wearing the embroidered garland was intended to encourage respect for the office and pride in the profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reconstruction of this significant artifact has reaffirmed the high level of technical skill and creativity required for the vast quantities of embroidery demanded by an ever-increasing clientele. The resulting documentation of techniques and materials provides additional information to aid in identifying Tudor-period embroidery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an excellent opportunity to attend the presentation if you weren’t able to attend the Toronto Seminar 2022 lecture. Or, to hear the presentation again and refresh your memories of this incredible project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time: <\/strong>7 p.m. \u2248 Tickets:<\/strong> $5 per person (Please purchase your tickets during registration so we have a seat for you!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
