Suzani Persian Stitching – 27th July

Sat July 27 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

- £50.00

Suzani is the Persian word for needle.

Suzanis are beautiful colourful textiles made in central Asian countries such as Uzbekistan and traditionally used to decorate yurts & dowry items.

There are different ways of hand embroidering a Suzani using couching stitches called basma and kanda khayol as well as chain stitch.

Chain is often done using a special Aari needle. 

Common motifs are fruits, particularly pomegranates that portray fertility, as well as flowers and leaves.

In this workshop you will explore traditional designs, learn different ways to transfer designs & experiment with hand stitching techniques to recreate a Suzani inspired piece.
