Welsh Chapel Embroidery (Abergavenny)

£250.00

This exhibition has prompted Susan Smith to return to the theme of architecture. By depicting some of the Welsh Chapel’s facades in cloth and stitch, using various techniques and incorporating Welsh wool fabric, she has attempted to give a new lease of life to some of these familiar buildings which form part of Wales’ cultural heritage. Shown here: Framed Welsh Chapel Embroidery (Abergavenny).
