Duration: 4 Week Embroidery Course (1 x 2.5 hour session per week for 4 consecutive weeks)

Date: 4th - 25th June (6pm-8:30pm - Thursdays)

Join us in our virtual online embroidery course and learn with us over four weeks to create your own berries in a goldwork and beading piece. Inspired by autumnal British hedgerows and luscious berry-laden branches, this design explores contemporary hand beading and goldwork embroidery techniques. The asymmetrical design allows you to experiment with multiple hand embellishment techniques in a relaxed and friendly setting, guided by our expert tutors every step of the way.

You’ll understand the fundamentals of goldwork, preparing with padding techniques using felt and threads. You’ll learn the characteristics of different types of metal threads and how they behave, before discovering how to apply them onto the fabric for the best possible outcome. You’ll explore decorative threadwork embroidery techniques and learn hand beading methods to create your berries. You’ll also learn how to apply kid leather – a fundamental appliqué technique within goldwork embroidery.
