£500.00
Would you like to learn the art and craft of Passementerie? One of the rarest and most special of all textile arts, Passementerie is the art of creating decorative embellishments such as braids, trimmings, tassels, fringes and rosettes for applications such as interior design, bespoke clothes making, millinery, jewellery and more.
Join Passementerie expert Elizabeth Ashdown for an immersive 5-day Passementerie Masterclass. During this unique and immersive Masterclass you will explore the wonderful world of contemporary, hand made passementerie. Passementerie is an 'endangered' craft in the UK and so this is a very special opportunity to learn how to create your own hand made passementerie from one of the last remaining passementerie makers.
During these classes, you will learn the traditional making techniques and skills required in order to create your own passementerie with confidence including items such as hand woven designs, tassels, rosettes, covered drops and cord spinning.
