Gli Antichi

Een fantastische set van 5 boeken op Antieke Italiaanse Naaiwerk techniek
Engelse VlagA wonderful set of 5 books on Antique Italian Needlework techniques


In 1989 opende Giuliana Buonpadre een borduurwerk atelier in het hart van het oude stads centrum van Verona, Italië. Als een hartstochtelijke borduurster voelde zij zich geroepen om haar creativiteit uit te drukken en tegelijkertijd te bewaren en haar kennis te delen van antieke Italiaanse naaiwerk technieken.
Het Atelier van Giuliana en de School van Borduurwerk in Verona kristalliseerden in een verzameling van vijf borduurwerk handboeken met als titel  "Gli Antichi" (Uit het Verleden), die zij schreef en illustreerde "om een kunst te bewaren die altijd heeft toegestaan dat vrouwen in intiem contact zijn met schoonheid". Elk boek wordt mooi met foto's en gedetailleerde tekeningen van elke techniek geïllustreerd. Geschreven instructies zijn in zowel het Engels als het Italiaans.


Engelse VlagIn 1989 Giuliana Buonpadre opened an embroidery workshop in the heart of the ancient city center of Verona, Italy. As a passionate embroiderer, she felt the need to express her creativity and at the same time preserve and share her knowledge of antique italian needlework techniques.
Giuliana's Workshops and School of Embroidery in Verona crystallised into a collection of five embroidery manuals entitled "Gli Antichi" (The Antique), which she wrote and illustrated "to preserve an art which has always allowed women to be in intimate contact with beauty". Each book is beautifully illustrated with photographs and detailed diagrams of each technique. Written instructions are in both English and Italian.
