Alnor Liturgeia’s commissioned works of chasubles, copes, stoles, scapulas and paraments are one-of-a-kind pieces. The
final design, the fabrics selected and the colors picked are commonly chosen in collaboration with the client.
Special attention is given to the wants and needs of the commissioning clergy or congregation and the actual locale where the chasubles, copes, stole, scapula or parament(s) will be used. Alnor Liturgeia strives to create vestments that enhance and complement but do not compete or overshadow any worship services or religious ceremony,
Alnor Liturgeia uses traditional, modern as well as abstract symbolism to create chasubles, copes, stoles and paraments with both spiritual and emo-tional expression.
All chasubles, copes, stoles and paraments are made with fine materials such as silk, linen, flax, or wool in a variety of colors and patterns especially selected for their suitability to liturgical purposes. Occasionally synthetic materials (i.e. satin and taffeta) are used, primarily together with pure fiber fabrics. Beads, semi-precious stones, gems, ribbons and other notions may be added to a piece when such applications beautify the vestment.
Various techniques are used in creating each chasubles, cope, stole or parament and may include one or more of the following: machine applique, hand applique, beading, quilting, cut work, hand embroidery, machine embroidery.
