August’s Student of the Month

by Leave a Comment

I’m afraid we are a little late with it this month but we have a new student of the month @kjsighn_atelier

When you see how well Katarzyna did with her Tambour Online Class Part 2 though, I’m sure you will forgive us for the delay and simply revel in their achievement.

It would seem they have a real flare for couture embroidery techniques as there are a few other great shots of other works on their instagram, you light also enjoy seeing like this jellyfish piece.

 

 

If you’d like to be this month’s #student of the month, tag us in your @londonembschool makes so we can see your stitching and be in with a chance to win one of our 10% off vouchers for our website. We’ll be doing it all over again at the start of next month.

July’s Student of the Month

by Leave a Comment

Happy August everyone ! A new month means the annoucement of a new student of the month….. @suegreenstreet !

Sue took our Beaded Coral Online Class and has been working her way through the abundence of technqiues included in the evenings. As you can see, it is still a working progress but she is getting through them and they all look great!

 

She seems to have particulally enjoyed the red sequin wave (also one of our favourites!) but we love to see how she has introduced some of her own supplies and ideas into the pearls of the ribbon coral to add some extra interest there. It’s super exciting for us to see how you go on to make these techniques your own and how you imagine using them.

Sue describes herself as ‘Dressmaker & tailor, embroiderer, textile artist and maker of all sorts of stuff artisanal and digital’ so as you can imagine, her instagram account has all sorts of interesting makes on it like these lace monogrammed hearts, or the eye below.

Congrats again to Sue, and if you’d like to be this month’s #student of the month, tag us in your @londonembschool makes so we can see your stitching and be in with a chance to win one of our 10% off vouchers for our website. What would you spend yours on if you won? Learning more new skills, or stocking up on specialist eqmbroidery equipment perhaps? The choice is yours.

There were some great entries last month but as always, we have to pick a winner so April’s student of the month is…@risa.loves.creativity

@risa.loves.creativity took our Introduction to Embroidery Lily and Pomegrante Design for her first foray into needlework, a marvelous choice if we do say so ourselves!

”Great first lesson! Being able pause, rewind and rewatch made this very easy to follow. Really had fun, even if I couldn’t see the green stem lines very well 🙈 looking forward to the next lesson.”

Always great to get as you think it feed back! As you can see from the photo above, she’s made some wonderful progress and her stitches are looking super smart. Something tells us this is only the beginning of Risa and her needlework…

 

Do have a look at her instagram page if you would enjoy seeing more of her other creative explorations such as painting and calligraphy.

March’s Student of the Month

by Leave a Comment

Feels like Spring is here and with that a new student of the month. So for their lovely works during March the winner is…@rhea_krcmarova

It is so fascinating and inspiring to see what each of you like to do in your spare time and how you manage to work embroidery into your lives. Taking Rhea for example- describing herself as a writer and transmedial text artist, we were delighted to see how our chiffon rose class came out for her and how effective they are when built up in this way.

As a text artist, she also wrote this wonderful poem to go along with the piece which we think is just beautiful:

”my needle

floating

in a field of fingers 

my pulse explodes

in silky-spoken strands

my blood is bound

my knots are softly breathing

my thread is rising

where my lashes bend”

Rhea Krcmarova 2021

 

Do have a look at her instagram page if you would enjoy seeing more of her works and seeing how her other artistic mediums all fit together.
