Find Your Way into Chinese Embroidery
Whether you are beginning your study, caring for a collection, planning a cultural project, or looking for trusted materials, we offer clear pathways to learn, preserve, and practice.
Rooted in Research, Carried Through Practice
Chinese embroidery brings together silk, thread, stitch, image, hand discipline, regional memory, and cultural meaning. Our work approaches it as a living tradition: studied through research, carried forward through teaching, protected through preservation awareness, and renewed through careful practice.
• Research-led understanding of traditional Chinese embroidery
• Practice-based teaching with attention to materials, stitches, and hand control
• Preservation awareness for textile heritage, studio work, and cultural cooperation
Learning Through Hand, Material, and Tradition
Our courses are designed for learners who want to understand Chinese embroidery through disciplined hand practice, careful observation, and respect for traditional techniques and materials.
Preservation, Restoration, and Cultural Cooperation
For textile heritage, careful work begins before the needle moves. We support conversations around preservation needs, restoration possibilities, collection care, educational cooperation, and public cultural projects related to Chinese embroidery and textile traditions.
Selected Resources for Study and Studio Practice
The CEI Shop offers selected embroidery materials, tools, and books to support traditional Chinese embroidery learning, teaching, and careful studio practice. These resources are presented as part of a broader understanding of thread, fabric, technique, and cultural meaning.
