THE MIDAS TOUCH with Lesley Uren

Wednesday 5 May 2010, 10:15 AM – 11:45 AM

Gold embroidery has been executed almost universally and is as old as the goldsmith or weaver. The history of this magnificent and rich tradition of embroidered embellishment will be discussed including the intricate making of the thread. 
Lesley Uren is a recognised specialist in metal thread embroidery. She is a founder, and still active member of the EGV. She is currently completing embroidery for several major exhibitions to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Embroiderers Guild, Victoria in 2010.
