January zoom talk

 This talk by Saima Kaur on her passion of  'Pholkaris folk embroidery was a great success, despite my zoom problems.

Saima gave a presentation of some of her own personal pieces along with photos showing how the shawl was worn. She also told us about the history and how families would pass them onto their family members.

The shawls/throws are higly decorated with symbolism and colour.

We had a good attendance and from the emails I received the members and visitors enjoyed the talk.
