Wat we doen

De Steek West
Van der Hoopstraat 84H
Amsterdam, Netherlands
When:
Saturday, September 6th, 2025
10:00 am to 2:00 pm
Basic Level - Limited places
Purpose:
The workshop proposes an introduction to the photoembroidery technique, which consists of the intervention of printed photographs with hand embroidery.
By using different stitches to create lines and textures, it is possible to transform the image into a unique object, which contains the memory and personal experience of the person who made it.
From the presentation of basic embroidery stitches applied to photographic paper, visual references and other creation tools, the workshop will offers different possibilities for experimenting with the technique.
Includes an embroidery materials kit, a printed photograph, and supporting materials (presentation and videos) for later reference.
Participants who wish to bring their own photograph are encouraged to print it on matte photo paper up to 15 x 21 cm.
