Flora Borealis Chainstitch Embroidery by Devan Burnett

  • Duluth Folk School 1917 West Superior Street Duluth, Minnesota, 55806 United States (map)

Join Devan Burnett for an exploration of Minnesota wildflowers through chainstitch embroidery.

This event features an exhibition of finished works, as well as interactive demonstrations with a vintage hand-controlled chainstitch embroidery machine on-site and information about this craft. Once dominant in commercial embroidery, these machines and techniques were superseded by programmable embroidery machines in the 1960s-70s, dramatically cutting production costs but also stripping away a distinctly human element from the work.
