What you should expect from the courses offered
Our Program Courses had been designed to provide a dynamic learning experience that connects individual creative practice with texture and design theory and technical skills based on hand embroidery. Each course will inspire each Individual to develop his careers in hand embroidery and design and make contemporary textile work using their knowledge of Luneville and Aari embroidery. The practice will be held online but with close teacher guidance, bringing a wealth of experience, technical support, and enthusiasm.
The Learner may explore traditional Luneville and Aari embroidery techniques within a contemporary context, and learn about the industry and the career opportunity within it. The Learner will also develop creative approaches to designing, drawing, and practice-based research to inform his evolving embroidery practice. During the studies, Learner will be taught a large variety of hand embroidery techniques. We will use the term ‘learning through making. The ‘making process’ refers to the creative practice: whether stitching, drawing, or developing design works. All practical units are underpinned by this methodology.
Study time is 85% of Practice and 15% of Theory across each Program. Practice and theory are closely aligned throughout the course with the opportunity to access the Library of useful materials to inform both theory and practice.
Hand embroidery offers many diverse career routes for our learners as a graduate. These include freelance embroiderers working for the fashion and interiors market, designer-maker, craft writers, researchers, and workshop facilitators in galleries and schools. As a graduate, the Learner may apply his knowledge and experience collaborating with clients within the fashion, interiors, and gallery sectors, as well as working for the film and television industry and Haute Couture as a freelance design-makers.
