January’s Student of the Month

Wednesday 3rd February 2021 by Natasha Searls-Punter Leave a Comment

January is over- phew! And so we have a new student of the month to announce…. @hanlroberts


Hannah purchased our Goldwork Online Class and kit and has been working away on her pear in great detail.

I’m sure you will agree she has made a fantastic job of it and even though she says that the cutwork was tough, we think she should be very pleased with it.

Hannah is quite an accomplished stitcher from her instagram page, you can see she has turned her hand to lots of wonderful stitching kits, all of which could be adverts themselves !

Goldwork Letters Online Class

Friday 30th October 2020 by Natasha Searls-Punter Leave a Comment

Hello goldwork enthusiasts, this new class we have to offer is especially for you. The Goldwork Letters Online Class: Chipping and Pearle Purl is the first goldwork technique combination we will be teaching specifically for a lettering outcome. There will be more goldwork lettering classes to come, each a stand alone class, demonstrating different goldwork technique combinations for letters. These classes will be taught in a slightly different style to our usual, as they are for those with a bit of goldwork experience. We will be demonstrating on two letters which we will be breaking down into 6 characteristics, allowing you to apply those characteristics to whichever letters you want to work on. 

When you make your purchase you can nominate which letter template you would like to be sent which will identify the characteristics you should be paying particular attention to and suggest what types of materials you will need as there are no kits to go specifically with this class, so you can have more creative control over your piece. 

Head over to the London Embroidery school website for all the details and to start designing your own lettering outcome which can be made into Christmas decorations (see pro tips), wall hangings (see pro tips) , hair accessories, brooches…

September’s Student of the Month

Tuesday 6th October 2020 by Natasha Searls-Punter Leave a Comment

It would seem like for those in the UK, autumn is well and truly here. Behind us are the days of wanting to spend all our time outside (Covid permitting). Bring on those snuggly months with a blanket, hot chocolate and the desire to stay inside and perhaps, I don’t know, maybe do some stitching. Like this month’s student of the month who has definitely been getting their stitching hours in recently @diannasmith646

Tambour Online Class 2: Beads by @diannasmith646

Here is someone who with a swift glance at their Instagram page, clearly loves textiles and making and craft in it’s forms. Dianna took out Tambour Online Class Series and wasted no time in getting started and dedicating her skills to this technique.

 

Tambour Online Class 1: Stitches by @diannasmith646

As you can see above, here winning picture is of her tambour 2 outcome, the beads class of the tambour series where she shows a real finesse for this style of embroidery. The other parts of the class are also very good, but that one just had the edge for us. It would seem that Dianna sensed that in herself too as she has already started and made serious headway on testing a new project with her tambour skills.

Tambour Bead project- Beaded purse by @diannasmith646

Bringing a great sense of humour to her craft projects, check her Instagram out if you need a little motivation as you will find it in spades. Dianna seems to be able to jump between different techniques very easily and goes to show how varied and exciting making things with your own hands can be.

Plunging, Pearle Purl and (string) Pad additions to the Pear

Friday 24th July 2020 by Natasha Searls-Punter Leave a Comment

We are getting into the more tricky techniques of the goldwork pear design now, starting off this class with plunging, the rather dramatic sounding way to finish off our couching from the last class.

Furthering our finishing touches, we then will be adding the very pleasing looking pearle purl edging before we explore a new padding method with string. This will bring us to step up the difficulty towards the end of the class as we take our first foray into the challenging technique of cutwork. 

 

Get your copy of this next class on our website or if you are new to the goldwork pear design, get started by choosing one of our bundle options to grab yourself a discount on this design. There are now three of the four class parts available with the final one coming next Friday, so plenty of stitching to keep you busy till then! Check back on the 31st July for the final instalment, or have it sent direct to you on it’s release when you buy a bundle option.
