Review:  
‘Put simply, this is the best course I’ve ever been on.
Excellent pace and delivery with resources sent afterwards as well. We learnt so many techniques and then practised them for ourselves too! We also learnt how our students could develop them further.

Course Review:
"I have been lucky enough to attend a few of the Textiles Skills Centre courses and they have all been absolutely fantastic. These courses have been an absolute game changer - I came away with so many ideas which I was able to put into practice immediately. 
Nicky provides so many examples of sketchbooks and final outcomes that you can see first hand how the skills being delivered translate to student work. The skills themselves are varied yet equally really accessible and she provides lots of suggestions on how to approach tight budgets. 
Nicky's enthusiasm and expertise is really inspiring and you can't wait to go away and try it all! The student results following the introduction of the projects developed off the back of these courses were outstanding and moderator feedback was really positive too."

Review:  ‘Put simply, this is the best course I’ve ever been on.
Excellent pace and delivery with resources sent afterwards as well. We learnt so many techniques and then practised them for ourselves too! We also learnt how our students could develop them further. We did so many samples of each of the techniques with a variety of materials and processes. Viewing exemplar sketchbooks at the end was a great way to conclude the day.

Learn the unique techniques of the fascinating art of Goldwork Embroidery with a comprehensive design that samples essential specialised goldwork stitches and techniques.
Goldwork is mainly "laid work", much different to other embroidery techniques in that the threads and wires tend to be laid on the fabric rather than stitched through. The result of this is a very rewarding and highly textured finish.
You will learn about appropriate fabrics, how to correctly frame up your piece ready for sewing as well as discovering the many types of goldwork thread and wires available and their application.
We combine traditional wires with contemporary threads to widen the scope of goldwork embroidery.

Saturdays 13th April and 11th May 2024 - 13h00 to 16h00. This class is taught in two sessions of 3h00 (6h00 in total)
Goldwork has been taken to the next level with this contemporary design. Incognito demonstrates how you can mix traditional techniques with contemporary embroidery to create a delight in texture and colour.We will begin by introducing the string padding for the linear work. 
In the second stage, you will be learning how to stitch the beads, sequins and crystals. Finally, you will stitch the silver grid next with smooth silver purl and gold rough purl.
In the second session, we will practise how to stitch the essing with gold and silver purl including the transitions from a thicker to a thinner part on the design. The crystals on settings will be added last to create some depth and sparkle.
Some pre-work prior to the class is required. Stitching the gold and silver pearl purls will be required prior to the class to allow time for more challenging steps in the class. The kit and detailed instructions will be send 1 month before the class starts to allow time for you to do the pre-work.
