Le Bégonia d'Or - Embroidery workshop

Created in 1995, the workshop continues a historic tradition linked to Rochefort and its Arsenal: gold-thread embroidery.
As the birthplace of this craft, Rochefort relies on Sylvie Deschamps, the only Master of Art gold-thread embroiderer in France, and Marlène Rouhaud, her former Master of Art student, to maintain and pass on this exceptional know-how.
Le Bégonia d'Or is a workshop for creating, personalising and restoring ancient secular and liturgical works, and for passing on the skills.
The many and varied courses, run by Thierry Tarrade, the workshop's third embroiderer, are aimed at amateur and professional embroiderers from all over France, Europe and beyond.

Activity: hand embroidery, specialising in gold embroidery, but also household linen, Lunéville embroidery and fantasy (contemporary art, interior decoration, military embroidery, liturgical embroidery, heraldry, haute couture, ready-to-wear, etc.), gold embroidery restoration, etc.

Custom orders on request.
Recreational courses at all levels by appointment all year round from age 9 upwards!
