The delicate and intricate embroidery of Chinese Silk Art developed over 2 thousand years ago and is still created by artists in a village outside Suzhou. We are exhibiting 4 works by Lanzhen Li, noted for her beautiful colours and intriguing designs.

These amazingly nuanced and detailed works have rarely been available outside of China and must be seen to be believed.
