January’s Student of the Month

by

This month’s student of the month is @elena.grandi00 who has just finished this piece of goldwork, featuring bright check chipping and pearle purl edging.

Elena has taken a few classes with us over the years, one of which was a goldwork course which you can see in these more recent works.

She has a passion for Cosplay and this piece looks like it will go towards one of her stunning costumes, we cant wait to see the finished effect.

Her skills are not restricted to her cosplay though as she works as a seamstress for Ballet and Opera in Rome.

Check out her instagram account for other pieces she has worked on and costumes she has made as you will find some serious inspiration!

The people have spoken and we have listened! As promised the London Embroidery School is now offering a 5 day Intermediate Goldwork Course for a week in June. This course is the perfect opportunity for those who have caught the goldwork bug to develop their skills and practise in a supported environment. The course will have a little recap on the cutwork techniques from the beginners class, the course then moves on to more advanced stitches. The initial part of this course will focus on stitch direction, length and consistency, the most essential part of cutwork and then will more on to more creative textures and skills !

We are also launching an extra date for the Beginners Tambour Weekend Workshop for those who didn’t manage to grab a place on the May date.This Workshop will be taking place on Sunday 14th June at a new location, The Commune Cafe, N1. Places for this workshop will go fast so don’t miss out.
