New Workshop Dates Added

by

We have recently been adding some new course dates, including the Goldwork Weekend Workshop (with two dates to chose from) and the Tambour Beading Weekend Workshop in March.

During the 6 hour day goldwork workshop, you will be shown 4 goldwork techniques and two raising techniques, starting with the simplest to grasp and progressing onto the trickier ones as the day goes on.

The whole day will be enough to become familiar with the skills, however it requires practice to become proficient.

By the end of our tambour beading workshop which runs from 10am to 4:30pm, you will leave with enough assistance to continue your practice, and grow your skills to become confident with the technique.

Starting with the simple chain stitch will help you to become familiar with the initial technique before you can then move onto beads and sequins throughout the day.

With both workshops nearing closer, don’t forget to book your place before they sell out!

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.
