Needle Embroidery Workshop
This workshop is an introduction to needle embroidery with a nature theme.
Paris-Ateliers / VIADUC DES ARTS (Paris 12th)
About
Come and discover hand embroidery by learning basic stitches to bring to life a creation inspired by nature. To craft it, you will be encouraged to repurpose the base so that your embroidery becomes 3D, creating a textile sculpture. You will be free to choose materials, colors, and threads to suit this theme. Everyone will leave with their own embroidered creation, a unique piece to give as a gift or display at home.
Day 1: The first day will be dedicated to discovering needle embroidery. It will allow you to familiarize yourself with several stitches to explore the possibilities that hand embroidery can offer. The day's schedule will follow these steps:
- Introduction and presentation of the three-day program
- Learning needle embroidery stitches
Day 2: The second day will be divided into two parts:
- In the morning, you will continue learning stitches.
- The afternoon will be dedicated to reflection and crafting your textile sculpture. It will take whatever shape you wish, the idea being to apply what you have learned to a 3D object based on the theme: nature.
Day 3: The third day will be a continuation of the second and will be used to refine your sculpture.

Our take on this event
Trade your phone for a needle and discover the tactile magic of slow fashion. This workshop invites you to explore embroidery beyond the flat surface, helping you craft a unique 3D textile sculpture inspired by the natural world.
Located in the Viaduc des Arts, Paris-Ateliers offers a three-day needle embroidery workshop for individuals aged 16 and over. Guided by artist Julie Percillier, participants will master manual embroidery techniques before creating a unique 3D textile sculpture inspired by the natural world. This small-group session, limited to 8 attendees, provides an opportunity to experiment with textures, colors, and threads. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, you will leave with a custom-made art piece created entirely by your own hands during this intensive February program.
This comprehensive workshop runs from February 17 to February 19, 2027, at the Paris-Ateliers venue in the 12th arrondissement. Each day is structured from 10:00 to 17:00, including a lunch break from 13:00 to 14:00. Led by instructor Julie Percillier, the course is capped at 8 participants to ensure personalized guidance throughout the process.
The first day is dedicated to learning essential embroidery stitches and understanding the artistic potential of manual needlework.
