Samplers have been around for hundreds of years and were originally created by embroiderers and other craftspeople to practise and record stitches and techniques. "Samplers from the MCML Collection" takes a look at variety of samplers ranging from 19th century school samplers, to a sampler reproduction project, to larger art samplers.
"Samplers from the MCML Collection" is on exhibit until December 31, 2021.
