Festa del Ricamo 2011: the classes and the demonstration
This year the Festa del Ricamo is double! In fact on Saturday afternoon there will be two classes and one demonstration and on Sunday our traditional market.
The classes and the demonstration will be open to a limited number of participants as to guarantee their quality, following the designers' requests and according to the rooms we will have access to.
For such a reason we have thought that the real "democratic" way not to disappoint any of the possible participants is recurring to a draw.
Each of you will have the chance to "book" for the class you want to take part to from the 28th of February to the 24th of March.
We will not accept any booking or booking request after this date.
To each person who booked for a class a number will be automatically assigned and then communicated by e-mail.
At the end of the bookings, we will cast the participants for the three events recurring to the website RANDOM.ORG which offers a service of randomized numbers draw, a service which is well tested and known for its clearness.
Then we will communicate the numbers of the assigned places and the numbers of people in the waiting lists for each class. If one renounces to the draw, we will contact their followers in the waiting list, of course following the order in which the numbers have been drawn.
The three events you can subscribe to are:
All the secrets on patchwork by hand and of the appliqué technique with the fusible fleece, explained by McKenna Ryan. During this class we will make a quilted 30x30 cm block to decorate all creations our fantasy can suggest. Click here for further details and for making your reservation.
Demonstration by Marie-Thérèse Saint-Aubin on needle painting: how we pass from the creative project to the drawing and finally to the embroidery. A fascinating travel made of colors which get into little stitches on the fabric. Click here for further details and for making your reservation
The basis of bobbins lace, with Alessandra Caputo. Through the making of a heart with the cloth stitch decorated with a precious charm we will learn the basic techniques to get closer to this fascinating art. Click here for further details and for making your reservation.
The classes and the demonstration are free.
For McKenna Ryan's and Alessandra Caputo's classes we have prepared two kits with the materials you need to create the projects. You can buy these kits at the Festa. The purchase of the kit is opportune as to participate to the class.
Kit Patchwork McKenna Ryan class: cost 40€.
NOTE: in the kit we have not inserted the pillow that you have to bring from home or to buy directly (a part from the kit) at the Festa. Any pillow is allowed, round or roll, also a small one is suitable.
Kit Lace Alessandra Caputo class: cost 30€.
NOTE: in the kit we have not inserted quilting needle, quilting thread, scissors etc. You have to bring your own tools or you can buy them (other than the kit) directly at the Festa.
As for the demonstration by MTSA and for the class by McKenna Ryan some members of our staff will translate the event in Italian.
It is possible to book the draw of all the three events but, as they will take place all at 15 pm, if you are so lucky to win more than one course, you will have to choose the class you prefer and then leave the other place(s) to the people in the waiting list.
Since we are aware that we will not satisfy all the participation requests of our friends, we are preparing a "B plan" so that you will all be able to take part (even if indirectly) to this wonderful experience even if you have not been rewarded by chance.
We are waiting for you!
