Head to YI Crafts studio in Neasden, London for this 3-hour workshop exploring traditional Bai embroidery, inspired by the rich textile culture of the Bai ethnic community in Yunnan, China.
Together, you'll explore the patterns, colours and symbolic motifs found in traditional Bai garments and aprons, starting with the cultural background and history behind the craft. From there, you'll be guided through several basic stitching techniques before putting them into practice, stitching your own Bai-inspired design onto a 100% cotton T-shirt to create a wearable piece that brings traditional craft into everyday clothing.
There's nothing you need to bring – a cotton T-shirt and all embroidery materials are provided. This workshop is suitable for beginners as well as anyone with a wider interest in traditional textile crafts.
Please note: you'll receive studio and workshop information by email a week before your session. As seating is limited, please cancel at least 7 days beforehand if you can no longer attend, so we have the chance to offer your space to someone else.

YICRAFTS is an east asian handcrafts studio based in north western London in Camden founded in 2019. Its focus is on the beautiful but vanishing traditional handcrafts and cuisine of China’s minority ethnicities. Intercultural sharing is constant and often unconscious throughout our daily lives, and hand crafts are the physical embodiment of culture and cultural sharing.
Founder Yiran is a member of Bai ethnic minority, and she has experienced the great diversity within the UK and London, but I have found that the diverse cultures of China’s numerous ethnic minorities are underrepresented, with ‘China’ viewed as a single cultural source. The opportunity to introduce and share the unique and sometimes surprising customs, traditions and practices of her home province inspires her.
It provides the chance to understand both commonalities and differences in culture, and to understand our shared history.
