This workshop is at YI CRAFTS studio, 60 Neasden Ln, London, NW10 2UW.
In this 3-hour session, you will learn traditional Bai embroidery techniques inspired by the rich textile culture of the Bai ethnic community in Yunnan, China. Together we will explore the patterns, colours, and symbolic motifs commonly found in Bai garments and aprons.
During the workshop, we will introduce the cultural background and history of Bai embroidery and guide you through several basic stitching techniques used in this tradition. Using the materials we provide, you will stitch your own Bai-inspired embroidery onto a 100% cotton T-shirt, creating a wearable piece that brings traditional craft into everyday clothing.
You don't need to prepare any materials for yourself. A 100% cotton T-shirt and all embroidery materials will be provided for the workshop. This workshop is suitable for beginners as well as anyone interested in learning traditional textile crafts.

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.
