Exclusive Michele Carragher Masterclass Launched!

by

The London Embroidery School is incredibly excited to announce that we have another exclusive masterclass with embroidery for costume extraordinaire, Michele Carragher. Following on from the success of the Jewelled Beetle Class Michele held for us a couple of years ago, we have a new masterclass to share with you where we will be working on an original artwork sigil in the style of her works for productions such as HBO’s Game of Thrones, Channel 4’s mini-series Elizabeth 1 and Netflix series The Crown.

During the masterclass you will be learning directly from Michele about her process and techniques whilst stitching your own embroidery of this bird sigil artwork. Places will be limited to get the most out of the experience so don’t delay in securing you place. Places can only be booked through the London Embroidery School website.

Follow the link here to book your place for the Masterclass which will be taking place on the Saturday 19th August.

 

New Dates Added for Couture Beading

by

If you were hoping for the chance to join our Autumn/Winter Beginners Tambour Beading Course, I’m afraid the course is now fully booked!

However, new dates have been added for the course on the 5th and 19th of April, and the 3rd May 2017. If you can’t wait that long we have also recently added dates for the Weekend Workshop on the 4th February 2017.

By the end of the Weekend 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.

All equipment and materials needed to practice the technique is provided to use within the classes, and we provide the option to purchase the equipment to continue practising at home.

Book your place before they sell out! Hoping to see you there!
