Goldwork Letter 3 is Out Now!

Goldwork Letters Style 3: Cutwork with padding and Pearle Purl edging is here. The final step in our goldwork for lettering series aimed at those who have done some goldwork before and are ready to apply those skills more specifically. Taught by breaking the letters down into their characteristics, we discuss the intricacies of the elements you will face and how to deal with each of them as well as showing how to bring all those elements together into one considered, cohesive outcome.

There are no kits for this class as we encourage you to make your own creative material choices for a truly personalised outcome. Do check out the materials listed on the class for our guide to what you’ll need. Head over to the London Embroidery school website for all the details and access to our most technically advanced goldwork class to date.

All Good Things Must Come to an End

Friday 31st July 2020 by Natasha Searls-Punter Leave a Comment

Our current online class series is coming to an end with this final part of the goldwork pear design. The class will focus on cutwork, developing and expanding on the skills we touched on in part 3 to create patterns and elegant tapering sweeps to the shape.

After that all that will be left to do, will be to decide how to display your pear as it deserves pride of place!

Get your copy of this class on our website or if you purchased the set, it will be waiting for you in your inbox. If you are new to the goldwork pear design, get started by choosing one of our bundle options to grab yourself a discount on this design. As all the parts are out now you view them all at your own speed, binge them all over a couple of days or savour the stitching, the choice is yours!

Don’t be shy and share your pears with us when you are done @londonembschool on Instagram and London Embroidery School on Facebook

Plunging, Pearle Purl and (string) Pad additions to the Pear

Friday 24th July 2020 by Natasha Searls-Punter Leave a Comment

We are getting into the more tricky techniques of the goldwork pear design now, starting off this class with plunging, the rather dramatic sounding way to finish off our couching from the last class.

Furthering our finishing touches, we then will be adding the very pleasing looking pearle purl edging before we explore a new padding method with string. This will bring us to step up the difficulty towards the end of the class as we take our first foray into the challenging technique of cutwork. 

 

Get your copy of this next class on our website or if you are new to the goldwork pear design, get started by choosing one of our bundle options to grab yourself a discount on this design. There are now three of the four class parts available with the final one coming next Friday, so plenty of stitching to keep you busy till then! Check back on the 31st July for the final instalment, or have it sent direct to you on it’s release when you buy a bundle option.

Friday 31st January 2020 by Natasha Searls-Punter

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!
