Discover the art of the Luneville tambour embroidery
Bead by bead, thread by thread — learn to create embroidery worthy of the couture ateliers.
This fall
In-person workshops.
Couture embroidery workshops designed for focused, hands-on learning. Beyond learning Lunéville tambour technique, students will explore the materials and thoughtful decision-making behind couture embroidery—developing an understanding of not only how to execute a design, but how to approach and create their own work.
Small-group workshop, allowing time for individual guidance and technique study. Students will also have the opportunity to examine a few couture dresses up close, offering a closer look at how materials, techniques, and design come together in finished pieces.
