The Art of Ayrshire Needlework

The Art of Ayrshire Needlework

The Art of Ayrshire Needlework tells the story of the origins, heyday and the 1950s and 60s revival of this embroidery tradition. On display are baby robes, bonnets, tools of the trade and examples of contemporary work gathered from the collections of both East and South Ayrshire Council's museums and private collections in the region. The exhibition has toured several museums in Ayrshire throughout 2006 / 07 and is now available to view online. It has been supported by the Embroiderers' Guild and Dean Castle Textile Team.
