This exhibition is an opportunity to see the fine detail and 3-dimensional quality of Salley Mavor’s bas-relief sculptural embroideries. A wide selection of her charming hand stitched artwork will be shown, inviting visitors into a world full of childhood wonder. On display are a number of scenes from her award-winning picture book, Pocketful of Posies, as well as other titles from Ms. Mavor’s 25 year career illustrating children’s books. Several of the works in the show are on loan from private collections. The exhibition and accompanying scavenger hunt are sure to appeal to families and anyone with a penchant for miniatures and/or needlework.
