JAPANESE EMBROIDERY: A JOURNEY OF TRADITION AND INNOVATION

Featuring the masterful works of Winter Park resident, Karyn Plater, this exhibition explores the thousand-year-old technique of traditional Japanese embroidery, nihon shishu. Characterized by intricate traditional designs of silk and metallic threads, stitched onto the finest Japanese silk fabric, nihon shishu is considered one of the most beautiful and challenging forms of embroidery.
