Early Medieval Embroidery Roundup 2024

Welcome to Early Medieval Embroidery's 2024 round up. In this video I talk about some of the highlights from the past year and some of things I've got planned in 2025. We cover embroidery, embroidery classes, embroidery shows, conferences, publications, archaeological analysis work, and I give you a sneak peak at my new job. So grab a drink, sit back and enjoy the 2024 round up.
