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.

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

Working on a minature 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 @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.
