Passementerie is a distinctive, visually striking craft technique with a long tradition that played an important role in the decoration of Hungarian folk costumes.
During the workshop, participants can explore the world of passementerie through practical experience, from the simplest fundamentals to the creation of more complex patterns. For beginners, we present the basics of passementerie step by step. Participants will learn about the different types of passementerie, their structure and characteristic elements, as well as how they were traditionally applied to women's and men's folk costumes. Using the techniques learned, participants will create two characteristic pieces: the "Vörösmarty" and the "Dobó Katica" passementerie.
Advanced participants have the opportunity to refresh their existing knowledge, refine their technique, and then create new, more complex passementerie designs. The topics covered in advanced work are tailored to the needs and prior experience of the participants.
Optional patterns may include, for example, tulip or pomegranate motifs, as well as additional passementerie designs agreed upon with the group.
Theoretical and practical leader of the workshop: Kiss Árpádné, folk artisan, Master of Folk Art.
