Embroider the World

Introduction

Embroider the World uses just a small part of the ethnic textiles collection at Bankfield Museum to explain techniques and inspire design work.

Use each page as a visual resource, look at how each technique is constructed, then pick up a needle and experiment.

This journey has been developed through a teacher placement at Bankfield Museum funded by Compact Education Business Services.
