Step into the Regency world with textile artist Kim Edith.
As part of a year-long project exploring the world of Jane Austen, Kim Edith invites you to an in-studio exhibition of her work. The exhibition takes place as part of Portsmouth Bookfest.
From the red coats of the militia to the elegance of a grand house, the recurring themes and imagery of the books have been explored in detailed embroidery. This series of fabric illustrations use modern colours, materials and patterns to bring to life the objects, people and situations that would have been familiar to contemporary readers.
