Synopsis
This is a sequel and companion volume to the author's "Ottoman Embroidery" (Studio Vista, 1993). It traces in detail the differences between Greek mainland embroidery (for costume) and island embroidery (for domestic textiles) over five centuries, and documents the difference in designs between islands and island groups. The author explains the historical background and cultural influences on the subject, the material, techniques, imagery and patterns involved and the work from: the Cyclades; the Dodecanese; the Sporades; the Northern islands; Crete; the Ionain islands; and Epirus.
