Other techniques including canvas work and tent-stitch pictures are to be found with both religious (usually old testament) and domestic subjects. Although such objects as coifs, caskets and purses are increasingly rare we aim to have examples of the highest quality. 17th century samplers of spot motif and band form along with white work and black work (Spanish work) may also be seen in the collection. |
