As we go striding into July, it is time to annouce that June’s Student of the Month is….. @craftswithadz !

Tambour sequins practise By Craftsbyadz

 

They took a Tambour beading class with us back when we had classes in the studio (seems like forever ago now!), taught by one of our wonderful tutors Amy Burt. You can see the practise that has gone into these skills as the work is looking very even.

We look forward to seeing where these skills will be put to use as they are a keen Disney and Broadway lover, recreating minature costumes for their collection of OOAK dolls.

Working on a minature scale can be challenging at the best of times so seeing these pieces coming together is really astounding. Especially trying to scale down the embroidery which can already be pretty fiddly at real scale!

Crewelwork, what is it anyway?

by

What is crewel work?
Is it not just embroidery?

Well, yes and no, the stitches are often the same types so it can be a great technique to give you a good overview into a variety of stitches. However crewelwork usually refers specifically to the wool yarn used to stitch with which gives it is lovely texture and provides a new challenge to work with.

Amy Burt will be teaching her next crewelwork class which is on Sat 2nd Nov 10-4pm if you’d like to join her class and find out more for yourself.

At each class you will learn a specific fill and edging technique set so you can dip in and out of the classes with the techniques you like the most. Best of all, you can work on a letter of your choice and will leave well on your way to having your personalised piece which you could make into patch, pin or present in a little hoop.
Fear not, the Goldwork Day Class will still exist if you prefer to learn your techniques at a more intensive pace.
