Dates: Monday 16th to Friday the 20th November Haute Couture: Intensive (Tambour Beading Levels 1 and 2) Suitable for beginners and novices alike. Tambour beading also known as Luneville or Crochet de Luneville is a French Haute Couture technique where beads or sequins can be attached to a fabric. The embroidery is done with a hook working through a fabric stretched tight as a drum.

The technique is popular on International Catwalks and can be seen in shows by Elie Saab and Oscar De La Renta. Dates: Monday 9th to Friday the 13th November Tutor: Jessica Pile / Janika Magi
