Feels like Summer might be coming to an end, but what we do know has gone is August and so it is time to announce that July’s Student of the Month is….. @laurasanders_costumes !

Introduction to Embroidery Online Class by @laurasanders_costumes

Arming ourselves with new skills is a passion we all seem to share and Laura Sanders is no different. This busy University of the Arts Bournemouth graduate is always making something new and has now extended her skills into hand embroidery.

We feel sure that these embroidery skills will come in very handy with her costume and dressing works for the likes of ‘Miss Saigon’ and ‘Strictly Ballroom’ in London’s Piccadilly Theatre.

As we go striding into July, it is time to announce 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.

‘Belle’ from the live action Disney Film costume By Craftsbyadz

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

 

Tambour embroidery By Craftsbyadz

Working on a miniature 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!

April’s Student of the Month

by Leave a Comment

Like the rest of the world, we have had some big changes over the last few months, having postponed all of our studio classes, we have been trying to bring our classes to you at home online. Therefore this month’s student of the month is someone who has been engaging a lot with the online classes, making lots of beautiful things and refining her skills @a.sodha !

Starting with the Valentino Roses Class, but also having made lots of chiffon roses, the combination of the two designs is stunning.

@a.sodha has also been joining us on the live stitch alongs on instagram, so it has been lovely to get to know her a little from chatting there. Having our community get involved with us like this makes it all worth it so we are delighted that you seem to be responding to our adaptations well and long may it continue. 😉

This month’s student of the month is @thehvb who made this piece of goldwork croissant, featuring bright check cutwork over padding and pearle purl edging.

 

Hollie took our beginners goldwork day class which introduces you to these materials, how to use them and some tradional goldwork embroidery techniques.

 

We love her whimsical, playful style, check out the other piece of goldwork on her account!
