Learn how to profile yourself in your craft with new embroidery techniques. Without unnecessary fuss, but with technical tips, smart tricks, the secrets of haute couture and lots of practical examples.
Do you recognize yourself?
- in the hesitation of knowing where to start if you want to specialise?
- in the question of whether a technique is exactly what you are looking for?
- in the desire to discover new things, but not knowing where to start?
Yet it tickled and I knew: it must work somehow! If only I would at least try it.
The first time I was working with silk ribbon embroidery, I found it exciting. Most of the examples looked downright fussy. Would this technique help me? But while the result manifested itself spectacularly, in the course of time even more possibilities emerged! The technique of silk ribbon embroidery appears to offer an enormous amount of perspective. The technology remains ‘in stock’ in my virtual ‘toolbox’ and comes in handy again and again.
If you keep filling your toolbox with knowledge and skills, they will automatically start communicating with each other and working together, resulting in your own, unique work!
In this short course I want to introduce you to the basic techniques of silk ribbon embroidery. Step by step I will show you the properties of the material and how you can achieve the best result using it. I would like to show you how I not only apply this technique in a traditional way, but also how it can help you to create unique additions within haute couture.
So that you develop your own handwriting.
Your own style. Your own techniques. Your own delight in making beautiful things. I help you in the course by giving you design ideas, technical tips and … I tell you my secrets about color and application.
So that you will definitely feel secure in using needle and thread, and you will share the world in the beauty that you thereby express.
The course is made for everyone who occasionally thinks: silk ribbon embroidery? I would like that too!
