Tanya Bentham: Opus Anglicanum and Stitching Abelard in "Inspriations" issue 131

Tanya Bentham designed Abelard (p. 42) as a partner to Heloise, who appeared in issue 130. In this conversation, Tanya shares history about the Opus Anglicanum technique and discusses why she is devoted to the pre-Black Death version. We also are treated to what you can do with the counter-point couching technique. In the second half of the video, Tanya explains how Abelard was designed and details how she would approach stitching the piece for maximum success, especially for people trying Opus Anglicanum for the first time.
