This week we’re talking about passementerie art with Elizabeth Ashdown. The show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Typically, when passementerie is discussed, the focus is on decorative trimming such as tassels, braids, and fringes. This time, we are taking the discussion to a whole new level because Elizabeth combines passementerie techniques, weaving, and thread dyeing to create a completely new world of textile art. In our conversation, we learn about her journey to develop this art form, how she goes about creating commissioned pieces, her teaching, and The Experimental Weave Lab, a fascinating venture that she hopes to repeat in the future. We also get a small tease of Elizabeth’s upcoming book. Enjoy the show and visit Elizabeth’s website to learn more about her textile-art world.–Beth and Gary
