Beading on a Whole Other Level

by Leave a Comment

As you can probably see from our recent posts- we have been really looking forward to sharing our newest and possibly shiniest class yet- the Beaded Coral Online Class. This two part class covers over 20 3D beading techniques to take your embroidery off the surface of the fabric and to a whole other level. Using a combination of beads, sequins and embroidery cotton we will show you various combinations and approaches to these materials to manipulate them and create really interesting, eye catching effects.

As we will be using some specific materials, you will also need one of our Beaded Coral Class Mini Kits which includes all the materials you need to make your own glittering coral reef. As this class is at an intermediate level, it is those who have done some embroidery or beading so you may already have some of the below that you will need equipment while to complete the class:

–8’’ or slightly larger Embroidery hoop– ideally self supporting seat or clamp frame but a regular will suffice if you prefer

-Wax

-Scissors

–Velvet board – or bead tray or mat

If you dont have any of these items- find them in the specialist equipment section of our website.

The second part will be released next Friday 30th April which will complete the design.

During this class we will be talking to you more about the technique of silk shading and how it can be tweaked with your directional, material and density choices. As you will have become comfortable with juggling your thread blending using two needles we will offer a little context and examples from the history of silk shading which will hopefully spark ideas of how you can go on to apply your new skills.

If you haven’t already secured your introduction to silk shading kit, don’t delay as these have been selling like hot cakes since the launch of part 1.Find all your options in the online classes section of the London Embroidery School Website.

Goldwork Letter 3 is Out Now!

by Leave a Comment

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.

by Leave a Comment

As we are expecting some disruption to the postal system this year, our date for Christmas postage for all countries including the UK has now past. However we are still working and will continue to dispatch orders up to the 20th Dec, we just cant say that they should get to you before Christmas. Any orders placed after the 20th Dec will be fulfilled after our Christmas break, and will be due to leave us by the 6th Jan 2021.

We hope that fits in with all your plans 🙂
