Flowers for Fashion

Masterclass Flowers for Fashion

Flowers form an endlessly inspiring theme within haute couture. No season goes by or a designer has not worked out a collection around the theme of flowers somewhere.

Flowers come in all shapes, colours and sizes. The appearance of flowers varies enormously. This does not make it a boring theme; it makes it a particularly versatile theme!

No wonder that anyone who explores the field of haute couture will enjoy some knowledge and skills in making silk flowers. Whether you are going to implement this technique yourself, or want to know what the possibilities are: in both cases you are very welcome to come to Doesburg.

I think you will love this course. Would you like to know why? Because you’ll learn the most critical secrets for haute couture flowermaking. The tricks that yield the best results.

What are you going to learn:

Different styles of flowers require different processing methods, so you ask yourself: what do I want to achieve in this case and how do I do that?
How do you choose the right materials that create your best results?
How do you shape leaves with the help irons?
How do you use different materials?
How do you prepare the material?
What do you take into account when designing?
How do you make a camellia? (because who doesn’t like this Chanel-flower?)

We have compiled an all-round program in which you orientate yourself broadly on the theme of flowers. You can implement various techniques, depending on your work pace. In any case, you will receive a clear description of these techniques so that you can continue experimenting with them at home.

No prior education required. If you are familiar with tambour embroidery, you might consider bringing your frame and tambour needle (make sure that there is already fabric in your frame: that saves valuable time!).

When? April 20 and 21
For whom? Anyone interested in making silk flowers.
Cost? 349.00 euros all-in: incl. VAT, coffee, tea and lunch, plus ALL materials.

This course is an extensive version (with more techniques) of the Silk Flower Making course, which can be followed as a group workshop at Dutch Couture Academy. The techniques are not discussed in other embroidery courses and are therefore a nice addition for those who embroider and sew.
