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.
The course is broken down into lessons, with practicals which form a finished project. Along the way, you will be given professional hints and tips to ensure you are learning to the highest standard and incorporating best practice.
Included is access to your highly experienced tutor via e.mail for six months after purchase of the course.
(We make every attempt to answer e.mails the same day).

COURSE DEVELOPERNicky Simpson BA(Hons) Textiles Design: Specialising in print.

This course has been developed by NICKY SIMPSON who has developed many face-to-face and online courses, as well as delivering workshops in schools, at the Festival Of Quilts, Knitting & Stitching Show, Stitch Festival and for the National Trust.
Nicky’s own work is creating arts and craft mostly with a heat press, featuring both machine and hand embroidery. Much of her work incorporates the flora found naturally in our beautiful English countryside. 





 Feedback for other online courses developed by Nicky: 
'I have completed this course this weekend and really enjoyed myself. I brushed up on some techniques I already knew, and can now see some new ideas for them. I really enjoyed the new techniques that I had shied away from before, as I thought they would be too tricky! The tutorial videos are very clear with great demos. Can't wait to experiment more.'
