Description
Friday, 4 December 2009
7.30 pm – 8.30 pm
The POD, Level 16
National Library Building
100 Victoria Street

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.

Due to limited seats, registration is required and can be made via http://golibrary.nlb.gov.sg and surf on to ‘SG101’.

Organised By: National Library Singapore
