[Ponte Alto] St. Anne's Clothiers Guild - Lecture/discussion about 17th Century Embroidered Jackets

[Robert Capozello]

St. Anne's Clothiers Guild - Lecture/discussion about 17th Century Embroidered 
Jackets. 
 
On 21 January 2011 at 1:00 pm, Lady Amie Sparrow will give a slide show 
depicting late Elizabethan / early Stuart embroidered jackets. In 2010, Amie 
went to Great Britain with an embroidery study group, which was allowed access 
to 12 extant jackets from museums including the Museum of London, Victoria & 
Albert Museum, the Costume Museum of Bath, the Maidstone Museum, the Museum of 
Nottingham, and the Gallery of Costume at Platt Hall. Photos of the jackets will 
highlight details of construction and embroidery. Because of photography 
agreements with the museums, Amie can show the pictures for educational 
lectures, but the photos cannot be posted electronically or distributed. So the 
only way to see them is to come to the meeting! Amie has edited thousands of 
photos down to the 200 best pictures. Handouts with information will be provided 
but no extant photos. 

The meeting will be at the Grace Evangelical 
Lutheran Church and school located at 3233 Annandale Road, Falls Church, VA 
22042. 

Please note this is a dry site and smoking is not allowed on the 
premises.
 
Please RSVP to cmerritt923 at aol if you are able to make 
it.
