Course Description
Discover the foundations of Luneville tambour beading embroidery in this intensive three-day workshop, exploring a technique widely used in haute couture ateliers to create intricate embellishment on delicate textiles.

Through a carefully structured programme of practical exercises, you will learn how to handle and control the Luneville tambour hook while developing the essential skills needed to create precise, even stitches. The course provides a hands-on introduction to the technique, with a focus on building confidence through repetition and practice.

Throughout the workshop, you will explore the fundamental principles of tambour embroidery, developing control of tension, rhythm and direction. These elements are key to creating the fluid, consistent stitches that define Luneville embroidery and allow intricate patterns and embellishments to be worked efficiently onto fabric.

The intensive format provides time to practise each stage of the technique and gradually build your confidence with the tambour hook. Exercises are designed to develop accuracy, control and a strong understanding of the movements involved, giving you the opportunity to refine your technique as you progress.

By the end of the three-day workshop, you will have developed a solid technical foundation in Luneville tambour embroidery and a greater understanding of the principles behind the technique. You will leave with the confidence and skills to continue practising and exploring tambour embroidery independently.

This course is ideal for those looking to learn a specialist embroidery technique associated with haute couture and develop the technical foundations needed to progress with tambour beading and embellishment.
What you will need to bring

Everything you need to take part in the course will be provided for you, including all materials and equipment required to complete your embroidery. Just bring yourself and be ready to stitch!
