Goldwork is frequently used for ecclesiastical embroidery. Thread made from gold or gilt metals wound round silk is used in a variety of techniques including couching. Gold embroidery was at its height in the Middle Ages. It has had a revival with the use of other modern and contemporary threads such as silver, copper and aluminium. This Mary Jane Collection 2002 series goldwork kit comes from a floral range which includes introductory techniques and experimenting with various metal threads.
