This class is part of the RSN International Summer School 2024
This is an in person class and takes place at Hampton Court Palace. The class runs over two days from Thursday 18 to Friday 19 July 2024 10am - 4pm
In the Bible God told Moses to make tasels(tzitzit) and wear them on the corners of his garments to remember the commandments; and in the Middle East tassels were worn as talismans to protect from evil spirits and demons.
These tassels however bore little resemblance to the modern European decorations. The French dominated the tassel market, apprentices took seven years to become a passementier.
Now used primarily as decoration tassels are still popular in interior design.
Come and learn the art of passmenterie, over two days and create two beautiful tassels.
On Day one we will be creating a beautiful wooden topped skirted tassel.
You will be working with a contemporary and rich colour palette of high-quality woollen yarns and wooden tassel moulds.
You will learn the traditional techniques for making an elegant wooden mould tassel, using basic methods such as how to roll a wooden tassel mould with cord, make a wired cut skirt, and assemble the whole tassel with a 4-strand suspension cord.
You will also learn how to spin cords using a special four-hook cord-twisting tool.
On Day 2 we will be creating a beautiful wooden topped pompom tassel.
You will be working with a contemporary and rich colour palette of high-quality woollen yarns and wooden tassel moulds.
You will learn the traditional techniques for making an elegant wooden mould tassel, using basic methods such as how to roll a wooden tassel mould with cord, make a pompom skirt, and assemble the whole tassel with a 4-strand suspension cord.
