Embroidery   Arts & Crafts embroiderers preferred the softer tones of naturally-dyed threads to the bright chemical aniline dyes. Arts & Crafts embroidery was commonly described as 'Art Needlework'. Designs by William Morris and others were translated into embroidery in a much freer way than the cross-stitch popular in the 19th century. Woollen crewel work was popular for large scale pieces but a wide variety of stiches including chain stitch and french knots were also used. This runner designed by Ernest Gimson in about 1900 is typical in its use of flowing patterns carried out in chain stitch.     Furniture & woodwork Silver & metalwork Forged metalwork Jewellery Pottery Glass Stained glass Leatherwork Calligraphy, printing and book binding Plasterwork Embroidery Wallpaper and textiles
