PASSEMENTERIE

Passementerie, the art of tassel making is a very intricate craft using large quantities of both materials and time. Generally i will make tassels to order only, so if you have a requirement please contact me to discuss styles and colours.

If you are local to Aberdeenshire why not try a tassel making workshop and make a tassel of your own? if you enjoy working with textiles, yarns and threads you would certainly enjoy tassel making.
