Exciting New Goldwork for Next Year!

by

At London Embroidery School, we are currently working on a new Intermediate Goldwork course in the new year for anyone who has completed our beginners course, or is confident in basic goldwork skills.

You will be taught how to extend the technique to a higher standard, and interpret them into a traditional rose design.

This course will be all about helping you to develop your goldwork skills, and use them in your own way to your advantage. These techniques include:

satin padding

nue

passing

cutwork

applique with cloth of gold
basket weave

string pud with cutwork

fishbone stiches

Look out for new course dates coming soon!

What better way to fulfil those New Year’s resolutions than to extend an already existing traditional skill even further? Book your place now.
