Dear Arachnes, As the list is quiet I thought I'd post an advance notice of an exhibition coming up from October at the V&A, some of you may have seen it in the UK papers. (http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2016/apr/26/v-and-a-relics-england-f inest-embroidery-opus-anglicanum http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/news/va-museum-to-showcas e-intricate-medieval-embroidery-in-new-exhibition-a7003106.html )
Opus Anglicanum: Masterpieces of English Medieval Embroidery, from 1 October 2016 - 5 February 2017 Explore a selection of the most outstanding examples of English Medieval embroidery. Featuring surviving examples of exquisite craftsmanship, this exhibition will focus on the artistic skill of the makers and the world in which they were created. It runs until next February, (as does the underwear exhibition) so we have plenty of time to plan a visit!
