Study Visit: Trimmings & Embellishments
This study visit with Gawthorpe Textile Collection curator Rachel Midgley will give you the opportunity to examine some of the embellishments and trims appearing on clothing and accessories in our collection. We will look at applied embellishments and trimmings such as passementrie and beading as well as fabric trimmings like bindings, ruffles and flounces.
The session will be guided by the collection's Curator who will talk you through each set of objects and point out interesting details about the techniques and materials used to decorate them. If you are interested in historical embellishment and trim this is a great chance to get to see some original historic pieces up close, learn more about them and meet other people who share your interest.
