Join us for a unique contemporary weaving workshop and explore the wonders of hand passementerie weaving with passementerie artist and heritage craft specialist Elizabeth Ashdown. Passementerie is an ‘endangered’ craft in the UK and so this is a very special opportunity to learn how to create passementerie from one of the last remaining passementerie artists.
One of the rarest and most special of all textile crafts, passementerie is the art of creating decorative ribbons, trimmings, braids, cords and fringes. Whether you’re interested in interior design, accessories, fashion design, or fine art, this workshop will teach you the introductory passementerie weaving skills you need to create your own fabulous hand woven designs bursting with colour, texture and pattern. You will create 4 different hand woven contemporary passementerie designs, each design exploring a different hand technique. You will also learn how to create your own hand-spun cords using traditional techniques. No prior experience of weaving or of passementerie is required.
Please note this is an in-person class at Hampton Court Palace, East Molesey, Surrey KT8 9AU.
