Textile Society of Hong Kong (TSHK) presents A Tassel-Making Class by Adrienne Laverick Wednesday, August 30, 2.30–5.00 pm at The Helena May, 35 Garden Road, Central.
Adrienne Laverick will be offering a special hands-on class on tassel-making. The class will last for 2½ hrs. She will provide a pack with cords, silks, a selection of beads, instruction and information leaflets and a map showing the places to shop for the necessary bits and pieces. She will demonstrate the making of a tassel, which the class will then do for themselves and she will also provide the essentials for doing the final trimming etc.
The cost will be $300 per person (with refreshments included, and all materials). Minimum 4 people, maximum 8.
TSHK:Textiles add colour, texture and pattern to surroundings. They stimulate a range of responses and sensations; textiles comfort, provide a sense of ceremony, denote status, and can be a reflection of religious beliefs and community traditions and values.
While born from the marriage of mathematics, mechanics, chemistry and art, their study also requires knowledge and reference to the areas of design, art history, archaeology, ethnology, ornamentation and costume as well as to social and economic history. Such an extensive sphere of influence has led some to observe that the study of textiles produces more revealing evidence about our civilizations than anyother art form.
An international network, focused mainly on the Asian region, has been established by the Society. Its primary function is to provide contacts in other countries and so bring those interested in textiles closer together.
