CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19

Join us in the beautiful Olde Towne East neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio on Sunday May 17th 2020, 1-4pm to learn the basics of this historical technique that is the cornerstone of couture beadwork. Tambour beading is a unique technique that allows the artist to apply beadwork to large areas much more rapidly than other hand beading methods.

 

Madame de Pompadour Creating Tambour Embroidery. 1753-64 painting by François-Hubert Drouais, in the National Gallery, London.

In this introductory class, students will learn:

– About the best fabrics for this technique

– The differences in embroidery frames

– How to prepare the frame

– The best threads for tambour beading

– How to properly orient the needle in the tambour hook.

– How to apply beads with the tambour hook

– How to complete your work and apply it to garments

All tools and materials are provided with the cost of the class, this includes:

– tambour hook

– embroidery hoop (If you would like to upgrade to a high quality slate frame for more professional use, they are available for purchase at an additional cost here: http://oldetownebead.com/product/professional-sla…for-tambour-work/)

– seed beads

– fabric

Prior to the class, students will receive a reminder email with the location address. We regret that due to the specialty nature of the tools and materials we cannot give refunds for the class. Instead, in cases of emergency, credit will be issued for a future class.
