Silk Shading Embroidery Courses

Silk shading, also known as thread painting, is a traditional technique used to create realistic, softly blended embroidery using long and short stitch. Often seen in botanical and portrait work, it allows for incredible depth, detail and subtlety in colour.

Our Silk Shading courses explore the precision and control needed to build up delicate shading with needle and thread. You’ll learn how to plan your design, choose and blend colours, and stitch your final piece with accuracy and care. Courses are suitable for beginners and improvers alike, and are available both online and in our London studio.
