This workshop is at YICRAFTS studio 60 Neasden Ln, London, NW10 2UW.

In this 3 hour session, you will learn traditional Bai embroidery techniques inspired by the rich textile culture of the Bai ethnic community in Yunnan, China. Together we will explore the patterns, colours and symbolic motifs commonly found in Bai garments and aprons.

During the workshop, we will introduce the cultural background and history of Bai embroidery, and guide you through several basic stitching techniques used in this tradition. Using the materials we provide, you will stitch your own Bai-inspired embroidery onto a 100% cotton T-shirt, creating a wearable piece that brings traditional craft into everyday clothing.

You don't need to prepare any materials for yourself. A 100% cotton short-sleeve T-shirt and all embroidery materials will be provided for the workshop. This workshop is suitable for beginners as well as anyone interested in learning traditional textile crafts.
