Hand & Lock are London’s premier embroidery house providing embellishment services to the Royal Family, top European design houses, the Royal Armed Forces, Savile Row and members of the public.
Thanks to Jessica, Production Director of hand&lock, she thinks an education exchange would be really interesting， for accepting this invitation to talk about：
- How the Chinese traditional stitches are introduced into their workshops?
- Comments and feedback on the “ melding experiment”
This dialogue identified the following：
- Because of the language barrier for Chinese embroidery teachers, instructional videos of traditional Chinese stitches in both English and Chinese versions may be required.
- The melding experiments were interesting, but it was important to get the interactors to understand the technique or to inspire them to learn about embroidery or to learn about the culture of embroidery.
In response to the feedback from this exchange, I will be collecting and collating teaching videos in both English and Chinese versions of traditional Chinese embroidery and will be working with the Hunan Embroidery Institute in Changsha. Because it would be beneficial for more people who want to learn Chinese embroidery to learn it, and they can become an independent learner, regardless of borders or languages!
Regarding the meldingexperiment, I will try to see if I can meld these instructional videos into existing works, interactive works of technology + education + embroidery culture.
