Magna Carta (an embroidery)

A new artwork created by Cornelia Parker, on display at The Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester until 1 November 2015.


The work celebrates the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, and a large part was stitched by members of the Embroiderers Guild and by prisoners supervised by Fine Cell Work.


An excellent opportunity, and most definitely worth a visit.

    I agree, it's definitely worth a visit. I took my grand daughter and we had a lovely time finding stitched work by people we recognised. My City and Gilds Tutor had also stitch a piece. We followed this with a most enjoyable lunch.
