Goldwork Weeds Embroidery: Artist Talk

Thursday, October 01, 2020
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

After years doing goldwork embroidery, Katherine Diuguid had amassed a large collection of metal "weeds"- those threads and wires that had tarnished or been damaged and could not be used for formal, traditional goldwork embroidery. One day her growing pile of "weeds" suddenly reminded her of the dandelions her son would pick for her.
Enjoy Katherine's "Weeds Collection," as she explores the manipulation of traditional techniques and materials by using gilt castoffs to create delicate floral slips. Each composition captures the beauty of weeds and wildflowers native to North Carolina. (Please also see our "Spider Mum: Intro to Embroidery program starting Oct. 10.)

Katherine is a teacher and author with an M.A. in art and design from N.C. State University.
