The craft of passementerie explained through 4 gestures’
Passementerie is an almost forgotten ingenious craft encompassing decorative trims like tassels, cords, and galloons, crafted manually or mechanically. Veerle Tytgat trained at one of Belgium’s last passementerie factories and still works there as a designer. In this talk, she’ll explain how this craft combines diverse textile techniques and how it inspired the research group Soft Connection Lab.
