About the author: Having retired from a career in industry
in 1994, Ann Parr decided to pursue a
more creative path. She attended various
workshops and later City and Guilds
courses with Pam Watts at Missenden
Abbey, obtaining the Medal for Excellence
in Machine Embroidery in 2000 and
2005.
Ann's success encouraged and strengthened her desire to experiment and she became fascinated by the use of metals in embroidery. During her courses, and inspired by work exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Ann's own work based on the Thomas Becket casket was exhibited there in 2001, and in 2005 her exquisite interpretation of an ancient chatelaine was also displayed. She has since exhibited and demonstrated throughout the UK and in 2005 she was awarded the prestigious First Prize by the Worshipful Company of Broderers. 
A comprehensive and detailed book, full of top notch advice. Hard cover, 128 pages.
