Johanne Bindesbøll
Danish artist (1851–1934) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karen Johanne Bindesbøll (5 January 1851 – 9 July 1934) was a Danish textile artist who specialized in embroidery. Together with Kristiane Konstantin-Hansen, from 1873 she ran a retail business in Copenhagen, selling embroidered goods and training young women to sew. The business proved to be highly successful over the next 30 years, attracting custom from individuals, churches and schools, and receiving several international awards.[1] It closed in 1903 to enable Bindesbøll and her colleague Konstantin-Hansen to create large tapestries for Frederiksborg Castle.[2][3]
