This two-sided banner was fully hand embroidered on a custom silk fabric, to celebrate Virginia Theological Seminary's 200th Anniversary. The central design on the front adapts VTS’s impressive stained glass windows, designed by Brian Clarke, unified into a single symbol of faith. On the back of the banner, birds weave through climbing flowers, reaching towards the graduating classes of future years.
The embroidery is a mix of silk appliqué, silk shading, and Japanese Gold Thread, creating a beautiful and abundant design on both sides.
The banner uses a that we wove specially for VTS. We based the design on our 'Hilliard' pattern, incorporating 'VTS 200' amongst the birds of the design.
Please note that this banner is a "one-off" piece.
