Embroidery, entitled Winter Garden, by Sue Bakker
Add to album

This embroidery entitled 'Winter Garden' was made by the Scottish artist Sue Bakker in 1985.

The embroidery depicts an interior scene of a winter garden or conservatory, looking up a path to a doorway with palms and other greenhouse plants on either side. It was produced using free machine embroidery in shiny yarns on muslin, organdie and calico.

During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
