RIBBON AND BEADWORK COURSES

Since ancient times, narrow strips of fabric have been used in everyday life and economic activities of people. Already in Ancient Greece, women wove strips of cloth into their hair to “enliven” their image. Bands decorated with gold and precious stones were also woven into the hair in Ancient Rome. In addition, colored ribbons were trimmed clothing, with each social class corresponding to its own color and material. In the Middle Ages in Italy ribbons have decorated the backs of chairs and canopies, as well as tying heavy curtains that closed the windows from the cold in winter. Ribbons decorated not only dresses, but also umbrellas, lampshades, quilts, hats and various trinkets for the home. During the last 2 decades a revival of embroidery began.
Interest has returned, and this art has once again shone with all its facets. After all, sewing with silk ribbons is extremely entertaining, it does not require complex equipment.

Silk ribbons can do the most graceful and delicate work. They have soft fibers and are quite elastic, but wrinkle easily. Slanted silk ribbons have an additional advantage – having the same properties as the fabric, cut along the slant, they easily take a given shape and drape. To achieve the original effect, the edges of the ribbons unravel as a fringe.

Unfading colors of glass beads have brought to our time the artistic images of the past, preserving the colors of their creators.

Beads – small beads in the form of a cylinder with rounded edges – and glass beads – beads in the form of tubes – were made of coloured glass. Despite the fact that the appearance of beads in Russia, including small varieties, belongs to the distant past, they have received their name relatively recently. In the 18th century expensive pearls were replaced by beads and glass beads, which became widely used in embroidery and jewelry. They embroidered panels, pillows, tapestries, paintings, handbags and purses, braided stockings, inkpots and caskets.

Beads, glass beads and sequins were used in the embroidery of urban clothing and peasant costumes.
