A workshop on “LIQUID EMBROIDERY” was conducted on 28th September 2018. Ms. Jayashree Narayanan, Fevicryl Certified Specialist was invited as chief guest for the event.
Overview:
Liquid Embroidery is the art of replicating the look and feel of traditional embroidery stitches with the marvellous 3d outliner and glitter tubes. The technique is very simple and basic and is an inexpensive way to transfer stitches onto fabric and make them look ethnic and trendy.
Embroidery stitches are fine and intricate because of the nozzles of these tubes. Cross stitch, kantha stitch, kutchi work, raberi (aari work) are few of the many traditional stitches that can be done beautifully on any fabric. Liquid embroidery looks beautiful on saris and a lot of Indian garments that demand traditional stitches. It can be done on cushion covers, bedspreads, dupattas, tops, caps, hats, clutches, fabrics, footwear and bags of all kinds.
