Embroidery on books

For this workshop, participants are invited to bring an iconic book from their library to adorn it with embroidery, accompanied by textile artist Brankiça Zilović.

This workshop provides an introduction to embroidery, using an original medium—the book. Using a variety of materials such as cotton and silk threads, beads, and sequins, participants are invited to transform the book they have brought along into a truly precious object, adorned with decorative embroidery in the tradition of the prestigious Maison Lesage. The application of ornaments and threads using different embroidery stitches invites participants to explore the evocative power of the imagination and creativity inherent in literature.

Participants will take their own embroidered book home with them.

Participants will also be able to embroider an old book chosen by the artist from a selection that will be made available.
