Masterclass Kinga Földi

Pin-tuck is a decorative sewing method often used in folk art and traditional costume making. This technique involves a straightforward process of folding the fabric and sewing each fold individually. The resulting pleats create a striped surface that can be shaped into organic forms through additional processes. During this masterclass you will learn how to prepare the fabric to create this unique pin-tuck fabric as seen in Kinga Földi's artworks. You will learn how to design an organic shaped sculpture and how to reach this with your prepared fabric. You will use your own sewing machine ( or one of ours in our atelier) together with hand-sewing and a special glue technique.

This masterclass will be given in English by Kinga Földi.

We serve a vegetarian local lunch each day ( with nice weather at our terras outside) and of course we arrange as well coffee and thee during the day.

About Kinga Földi:

This workshop will be facilitated by Kinga Földi, a visual artist and designer based in Hungary, who is specialised in creating sculptures using the pin-tuck method. The pin-tuck stitching technique, initially used for designing blouses, has evolved into the defining element of her creations, forming the intricate scales of her sculptures. Her techniques are deeply influenced by nature, with flora and fauna servingas key inspirations that resonate throughout her
silk sculptures.
