Silk Embroidery: Flying on a silk thread, with Catarina Tudella

In an inspiring setting provided by a 17th-century Chinese textile panel from the Qing dynasty, part of the Foundation’s collection, participants will have the opportunity to create a small piece of silk-thread embroidery.
All the materials required for the workshop will be provided by the instructor.
