Celtic, Viking and Anglo Saxon Embroidery

To quote the writer, “the book is a work of sheer self-indulgence” - therein lies its appeal and inspiration. It spills from a heart that is in love with its subject, and it is that very passion that will inflame the creativity in others.

Jan’s latest book is both timely and refreshing. The embroidery and artwork give a focused glimpse into what textiles might have looked like in the dim and distant past, while also cleverly utilising modern materials to do so. The result is a clever mix of old and new which sit so well together.
