Embroidery is a delicate art and craftsmanship with needles as the stroke and threads as the ink. It is the reflection of the artist’s sentiment. Inspirations of an embroidery artwork are realised with every sewing and threading by the guidance of the artist’s slender hand, fertilising her spirit with the advancement of time. Learning the art of embroidery is not limited by age or gender; it is easy to pick up even without any artistic skills or backgrounds. By learning to embroider, the youth can master a skill full of culture and tradition, enhancing their aesthetic taste and vision, while the elderly can enrich their lives and self-cultivation.
Our institution adopts a theory-based, practical-emphasised teaching philosophy. The students are expected to achieve an elementary or intermediate level of embroidery skill upon completion of the course.
