Metal embroidery in a gold and blue floral formation

Zardozi is the most ornate embroidery from the Mughal era in India. Traditionally this embroidery was done using pure gold and silver threads along with real gemstones. The garments were heavy and were only worn by royals.  

In this workshop you will create a sample using various metallic embroidery materials. You will explore some techniques that are used by European couture houses even today. 

This workshop will cover: 

  • history of Zardozi embroidery 
  • different stitches, motifs, and fabrics 
  • sewing basics 
  • sewing your own piece of zardozi.
