Subject – Crewel Embroidery & “Why the Tree of Life”
Dixie is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the History of Embroidery, also an avid collector of antique embroidery which she bring a collection of for all to see. Participants are also encouraged to bring items of interest to share.
Dixie’s topic this year and I quote: - “Crewel Embroidery & Why the Tree of Life” - Many embroiderers are familiar with the English embroidery known as Crewel or Jacobean Embroidery. This embroidery style emerged during the 16th Century. One of the major features is the “Tree of Life” motif which is an ancient symbol. This motif has had a significant symbolic meaning to humanity for thousands of years, worldwide. We will explore its iconography and trace its life in its various guises in different art forms from primitive to man today. We will come to an appreciation of the meaning and origin of this most popular of motifs. The lecture will feature many examples in full colour of the “Tree of Life” embroidered or woven by various cultures, including English, Chinese, Indian Chinese and Middle Eastern.
