From the organizer:

You are warmly welcomed to join Tram for a lovely weekend activity, dressed in your finest attire, and spend a peaceful morning embroidering at the Tú Thị Communal House! In the vibrant, fragrant setting of the “Shimmering Silk, Natural Hues – Threads and Dyes of the Past and Present” exhibition, embroidery artist Pham Ngoc Tram will share her insights into the art and heritage of Vietnamese embroidery through the exquisite practice of gold thread embroidery – a traditional technique symbolizing elegance, refinement, and deep cultural significance in Vietnamese artistry.

Discover the elegance and refinement of gold thread embroidery, a traditional art form symbolizing luxury and intricate craftsmanship. In the serene and inspiring setting of Tú Thị communal house, embroidery artist Pham Ngoc Tram will guide you through:
Learning the techniques of gold thread embroidery, from preparing the base to handling and securing the gold threads with precision.
Discovering golden thread embroidery in Vietnamese embroidery art, French haute couture embroidery, traditional British Royal embroidery
Creating your own embroidery goldwork on items like clothing, bags, scarves, or cushions.

Note:
– It’s highly recommended for you to bring an embroidered item of yours (DIY or bought), so that you can learn to add golden thread as a top-up surface. If not, there will be fabric with pattern to start with.
– Tram will provide gold threads and all necessary materials to ensure you enjoy an authentic experience of this exquisite technique. You don’t need to bring anything unless you want to use your own familiar embroidery tools or frame.
– Feel free to bring your own favorite clothing, such as dresses, sweaters, scarves, or fabric pieces to embroider on.
