So integral is the culture of beadworks to the Straits Chinese society that beadworks are apparent not just in kasut manek, the beaded slippers made and worn by Peranakan women but are also featured in bolster-end and table-covers. Reflecting intricacies and a taste for fine arts, bead weaving is an important skill of utmost importance to the Peranakan society.
Join Bebe Seet, the Peranakan doyenne of beadworks, as she shares her passion and love for beadworks and embroidery. As part of her recently launched book, Bebe Seet, owner of a Peranakan Heritage boutique shop, Rumah Bebe, will also demonstrate some beading techniques.
