Masterclass Hand Embroidery

This masterclass draws inspiration from the exhibition Fashion & Interiors. A Gendered Affair. During the 19th century, garments were often richly decorated with galloon, fringes and cords.

This masterclass focuses on the use of cord, combined with fine pearls to create elegant structures and decorative accents. You will learn to use cord in a refined way and enrich it with pearls, inspired by an ensemble from the MoMu-collection. At the end of this master class, you will have a handmade ornament that you can attach to a garment or incorporate into a stylish brooch.
