Learn the Buddhist Art of Silk Applique with Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo | Applique with Machine Embroidery with Sarah Vedeler

(Show 3307) When textile artist, teacher, and author Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo traveled to India as an economic development volunteer she had no idea that a trip for a few months would change her life and result in a stay of nine years. Learn how this determined woman embarked on a full-time four-year apprenticeship and became a master in the rare Buddhist art form of Tibetan appliqué known as Thangka. In the show, Leslie demonstrates couching with horsehair and the Tibetan method for assembling an appliquéd lotus flower. Then Sarah Vedeler, the queen of Machine embroidery, shows you how to appliqué flowers with machine embroidery.
