SEWING INDEPENDENCE

Holding a beautiful collection of embroidered works, the Wemyss School of Needlework showcases its collection in its first major exhibition outside of the school since 1936. Discover a stunning array of extraordinary needlework produced in East Fife. Explore the history and continuing legacy of the institution that offered the opportunity for the daughters of local miners and farmers to stitch their way to independence.

 

The exhibition has been curated by the students of the Museum and Gallery Studies of the University of St Andrews in collaboration with Fife Cultural Trust.
