About the Author

Having retired from a career in industry in 1994, Ann Parr decided to pursue a more creative path. She attended various workshops and later City and Guilds courses with Pam Watts at Missenden Abbey, obtaining the Medal for Excellence in Machine Embroidery in 2000 and 2005. Ann's success encouraged and strengthened her desire to experiment and she became fascinated by the use of metals in embroidery. During her courses, and inspired by work exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Ann's own work based on the Thomas Becket casket was exhibited there in 2001, and in 2005 her exquisite interpretation of an ancient chatelaine was also displayed. She has since exhibited and demonstrated throughout the UK and in 2005 she was awarded the prestigious First Prize by the Worshipful Company of Broderers.
