Restoration Intangible Cultural Heritage Experiential Studio is going to host an event on Suzhou Embroidery at Suzhou ICH Shop Dongbei Street Branch this Saturday (June 26).

Suzhou Embroidery, one of the four most famous embroideries in China, originated in Suzhou and has a history of more than 2,500 years. Artists normally use one threaded needle to work on different patterns on different fabrics.

Among others, “double-sided embroidery” is the best known one and now it has evolved into double-sided embroidery with different colors, patterns and needle stitches. Suzhou Embroidery was included in the national-level intangible cultural heritage list (first batch) in May, 2006.

As the municipal-level representative inheritor of Suzhou Embroidery and hired APEC embroiderer, Fu Xianghong has been committed to embroidery for more than 40 years. She founded her own brand “Xianghong Embroidery Studio” at the age of forty.

Fu Xianghong will be invited to introduce the origin, development and stitches of Suzhou Embroidery. Participants can expect to make their own Suzhou embroidery sachet.

You can make different kinds of sachets during the session

Those who are unable to attend the event can watch it live-streamed through Douyin account @FeiyibanFeiyi. Currently, Xianghong Embroidery Studio is exhibiting and selling its products at Suzhou ICH Shop for a week. Don’t miss out!
