Passementerie Weaving with Helen Fry

Returning exhibitor Helen Fry will demonstrate the intricate craft of handwoven passementerie.

Helen is a Shropshire-based hand weaver and textile designer who creates decorative braids using luxurious natural yarns. Her work combines traditional passementerie techniques with contemporary colour, texture and design. (marchesbookartsgroup)

Watch the braids build thread by thread, learn how bespoke trimmings can be designed to complement an upholstery or interior scheme, and discover the level of skill involved in producing these deceptively complex decorative details.

This is a rare chance to see an endangered specialist craft being practised and explained by an experienced contemporary maker.
