Patricia McIndoe - Boutis workshop (One Day workshop)
This class will teach you the basics of Boutis, a traditional French hand-stitched and corded needlework technique, that creates a raised design with three layers.
The origins and name of Boutis can be traced to Marseilles (southern France) to the 15th century. Traditional boutis was invented to embellish otherwise plain white cotton with intricately patterned channels that would later be stuffed with a plump white yarn to give it relief. The resulting corded whitework created an elegant, embossed textile that was much sought after.
