The Worshipful Company of Broderers is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. Broderers were workers in embroidery; the organization of Broderers existed in at least 1376, and was officially incorporated by a Royal Charter in 1561. As the craft of embroidery has lost its importance as a trade, the Company has become less of a trade association for Broderers. Instead, the Company is now, as are most Livery Companies, a charitable foundation.
The Company is the forty-eighth in the order of precedence for Livery Companies. Its motto is Omnia Desuper, Latin for All From Above.
Today, our contemporary expert is, arguably, since someone always wants to argue, Jack Robinson.
He spent years studying and perfecting his technique in flwork and received commendation in 1993 from The WorshipfulCompany of Broderers and The Embroiderers' Guild for his work.
His designs can still be purchased in Great Britain, and with the magic of the internet and plastic money, anyone can have them!
