Quaker Tapestry: An Introduction. Este artículo no está disponible.Quaker Tapestry: An Introduction

This book gives an insight into the making of this unique tapestry and how and where it can be seen today. The middle section of the book (Pages 14 - 25) uses Quaker themes to link the stories depicted in the tapestries to the historical and religious development of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Britain and around the world from the early 17th century to the present day.

This book gives an illuminating and engaging insight into the making of the Tapestry and where it can be seen today. The origins and development of the project, which began in a Quaker Sunday School in the South of England in 1981, are well told in a clear and engaging way with an excellent use of illustrations. The booklet makes excellent use of detailed photographs of the stitching. Close up images of the embroidery convey clearly the meticulous and delicate nature of the work. This new booklet is a beautifully produced introduction to the Quaker Tapestry and well worth acquiring. It will be particularly useful as a clear introduction to the Tapestry, to its background themes, and to those unfamiliar with it. Ian Kirk-Smith, Editor of 'The Friend'.
