In this workshop, you will be taught basic embroidery techniques to develop an embellished brooch. Using pre-screen printed motifs, I will guide you through the steps of the embroidery which can be completed within the 2-hour timeframe. All materials and light refreshments will be provided.
This is also an opportunity to engage in discussion on the contemporary place of women in China. In both Chinese and Western traditional embroidery has been a group activity; as much an opportunity to produce garments and decoration as it is to share and discuss.
As women’s positions as the head of the home are shifting and traditional skills such as needlework are being replaced by the modern value of education. How does the role of a woman get re-invented? How do we negotiate the conflicting aspirations of career and education while also supporting a family?
This workshop will form part of a three-month project titled Nûde 博士 exploring the stigma surrounding women in higher education in China.
Learn the basics of animal sculpting and make your own mini animal head out of clay with British ceramic artist Henrietta MacPhee. A workshop for beginners and clay enthusiasts. All materials will be provided.
