Plumasserie Workshop – June 2, 2025 in Brussels
As part of our program to discover artisanal skills, our fashion school is pleased to host a featherwork workshop on Monday, June 2, 2025 at our premises in Brussels.
This workshop will be led by Emmanuelle Béduneau, PLUMASSERIE workshop manager – ANALEPSE www.analepsefeltdesign.com
The workshop will take place in several stages, combining discovery, experimentation and personal creation.
Course of the workshop :
- A playful and theoretical introduction: games and discussions about feathers and birds, to better understand the origin and diversity of this natural material.
- Tool presentation and demonstration: introduction to basic featherworking techniques.
- Creating a personal memo: students will create a set of basic gestures to keep as a reference.
- Design a personal project: individual guidance in the creation of an accessory or textile detail adorned with feathers.
Two possible creative directions:
- Accessory: brooch, flower, simple tiara, pump…
- Textile finish: neckline edge, sleeve or other detail on a garment.
Preparation required of students:
- Come along with your sketches, moodboards or inspirations if you have any. This will save time on the big day.
- You can also think about your project on the day, but advance preparation is strongly encouraged.
- Depending on your project, consider bringing your own support:
- Headband for a tiara
- Shoes for customization
- Garment or textile part for finishing
- Basic materials (feathers, tools, glues, textile supports and a few basic accessories) will be provided by the instructor.
The workshop has a wide selection of feathers (ostrich, goose, etc.), unless otherwise requested.
