Moniquenwerk Broderie d’art is the shop for materials for broderie d’art and gold embroidery, run by Monique van Munster.

Broderie d’art is the artistic embroidery used in haute couture in Paris. Monique regularly travels to Paris to source the most beautiful beads and sequins. The shop also specializes in silk embroidery threads and other fine threads.

Monique has been involved in needlework her entire life. Since 2013, she has had an embroidery studio in Tilburg. In her studio, Monique teaches broderie d’art, gold embroidery, and 3D embroidery. Her students come from all over the Netherlands, and even from Germany and Belgium to attend her classes. Since 2023, Monique van Munster’s broderie d’art has been included in the Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Netherlands.

Because she often works with hard-to-find materials, she began sourcing them for her students. The product range grew out of the lessons but has since expanded into a treasure trove for embroiderers who love experimenting with unique materials.

At Ambacht in Beeld (Craft in Focus), Monique sells materials for gold embroidery such as gold thread and cannetilles, silk embroidery threads, beads and sequins, coloured silk organza, several types of ribbons and trims, silk velvet, and materials to make handmade buttons.

During the festival, Monique also teaches masterclasses Beautiful embroidery.
