Time: 1–3 pm

Visit Miegunyah to watch Jenny and her students demonstrate embroidery techniques and view exquisite examples of her work.
Every piece of artwork by Jenny Gao is an innovation on this rich history and tradition. From the style, pattern, needlework, thread matching, cloth to the colour, everything has been carefully constructed and precisely executed to create unique embroideries.
Traditionally embroidered antique and vintage items from the Miegunyah collection can be viewed during a tour of our Threads of the Dragon exhibition. If you would also like a tour of the house and exhibition on this same day please book your tour here.
