If an embroidery is to serve a design, it must be developed in connection with the make of a garment or object. The embroidery is shaped and prepared in connection with its context, among other movement and light-effects are of vital importance for the result.
It is in the complex combination between mastering a craft and experimentation across materials and technical boundaries, that the embroiderer must exercise and develop their skills and talent.
The full certified program will give a professional approach to the craft based on a thorough technical and theoretical foundation. Each student can, based on the learning objectives form the different modules futherdevelop their own specialization. Furthermore competence is acquired in development of own commercial products, among other price-setting, sourcing, presentation and different forms of collaboration with private customers, designers, artists etc.
Derudover opnås kompetence der kan benyttes til udvikling af egne produkter med kommercielt formål, herunder, pris-beregning, sourcing, præsentation samt samarbejdsformer med private kunder, designere, kunstnere m.fl.

In the first module, you will learn to arrange an embroidery as an integral part of the pattern construction of a garment. You will gain an in-depth knowledge of the professional embroidery craft, its tools and processes from, for example, drawing and the further transfer to the fabric.
We work with where and how to acquire knowledge about different embroidery cultures, know-how and their representative meanings.
This course is about developing and organizing embroideries which form part of independent parts of an outfit, for example pockets, collar and cuff pieces or textile jewellery. We practice elegant endings, transitions, borders and edges that, together with the embroidery, become part of the finish.
We look at process and tool-related solutions and ensure the quality of the independent embroidered piece. In addition, the various techniques for translating the naturalistic image into stylized embroidery must be worked on.
Based on the acquired processes and techniques from modules I and II, the embroideries must be developed with a view to application on existing clothing. The applied embroidery makes special demands on material compositions and processes for their assembly.
In addition, we will look at how embroidery can be included as construction and expression-changing elements in clothing, including its potential for extending the life of clothes and customizing for the unique expression.
In the final module, the focus in on development of the good collaboration between embroiderer and designers, scenographers and artists alongside other subjectareas where embroidery is used.
Collaborations spanning different fields are established in connection with the final exam, where each student will develop a final product based on set assignment from the collaborator. In connection with the assignment, knowledge of the commercial aspects in the professional life of an embroiderer is acquired.
