Applique

Appliqué is an art that ignited in Central Asia and spread to Tibet across the Silk Road. This technique of appliqué we use here is called "couching and pine silk thread around Mongolian horsetail, and then stitching this cord onto fabric to create a bold outline. These pieces are then layered together to create a patchwork effect for students registering for the appliqué art workshop, they will practice the technique of embroidery and students can choose between designs increasing in difficulty depending on the days they take the workshop.
