Workshop Dates: Saturday March 21 & Saturday March 28 2025
Time: 15:00 – 17:30 CET on Zoom
This March, join me for a two-session workshop dedicated to the art of mandalas and couture embroidery — a celebration of history, craft and dimensional embellishment.
This embroidery is inspired by the ancient Hindu and Buddhist tradition of mandalas design. One of humanity’s oldest visual languages — a geometry of balance, rhythm, and meaning, it was designed to guide meditation, translating the cosmos into form.
Over centuries, this powerful structure traveled far beyond its origins, finding new expression in decorative arts: in architecture, textiles, mosaics and ornamental design through symmetry, repetition, and harmony.
In this online embroidery workshop, the mandala’s ancient language is reimagined through tridimensional couture embroidery, becoming a contemporary field for dimension, texture, and light. Guided by its centered composition and rhythmic structure, silk, metal, sequins, and crystals unfold, transforming ornament into a slow, thoughtful act of making.
You will be guided by Nadia—who brings over 20 years of haute couture embroidery experience with step-by-step instructions to recreate this original, richly textured embroidery.
Your embroidery kit includes:
A digitally-printed vintage white linen panel with a circles mandala pattern (dimensions 21cm x 21cm / 8,2 inches x 8,2 inches)
Dark blue cotton mouliné embroidery floss
Flower-shaped white sequins
Large metallic pink cupped sequins
Medium metallic orange cupped sequins
Small iridescent grey cupped sequins
Mini orange cupped sequins
Iridescent bugle beads
2mm rigged metallic blade in gold
Short pink bugle beads
Orange seed beads
Round silver rigged beads
Embroidery needle and beading needle
A few days before the first session, you’ll receive a comprehensive tech pack via email, with detailed guidance on materials placement and techniques.
You’ll need to bring:
This workshop is not just about embroidery—it’s about storytelling through thread, from South east Asia and Buddhist tradition to your studio embroidery practice.
Limited to 20 kits only—reserve yours for these unforgettable embroidery sessions.
