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.
