New Goldwork Weekend Class Now Available

by

We may have seemed a little quiet of recent, but it is only because we have been beavering away on this lovely new set of classes to bring you for this summer.

The Goldwork Letters Weekend Classes offer a new outcome to the way you learn goldwork by splitting them into 4 managable bites. At each class you will learn a specific fill and edging technique set so you can dip in and out of the classes with the techniques you like the most. Best of all, you can work on a letter of your choice and will leave well on your way to having your personalised piece which you could make into patch, pin or present in a little hoop.
Fear not, the Goldwork Day Class will still exist if you prefer to learn your techniques at a more intensive pace.
Follow the links for all the details,  we hope to see you and your letters soon!

New Date for the Lace Series Course

by

On Saturday 24th November, we will be having a full day’s workshop dedicated to lace embroidery. Starting with Lace Applique, we will later move onto Broiderie Anglaise and finishing up with some Limerick Lace . We will introduce you to the techniques used in each of these styles of embroidery that give them their signature look whilst you practise a little of each.
Lace Applique. Starting with the original class we will be teaching the application of lace onto delicate fabrics, perfect for use on lingerie and evening wear. Dealing mainly with tension and placement this class will show you a very clever way of covering a lot of ground with pattern very quickly once in your stride.
Broiderie Anglaise. This tradition whitework lace technique creates an opaque cut work effect and will teach from applying your desired design onto cotton right through to creating the lace effect and stitches.
Limerick Lace. Incredibly delicate needlework lace created by stitching directly into the tulle and embracing the textures and patterns within the tulle itself. (reference flower image at the top in this style also)

September’s Student of the Month

by

Today we have a new student of the month…Robin Schweitzer (aka. @robinzahood)!

Have a look at the beautiful black work she has been working on in and following her Private Tuition session with the London Embroidery School’s Amy Burt.

This kind of counted stitches work can be very time consuming but the intricacy of the patterns used to create these shading effects is oh so satifying.

If you would like to be our student of the month, next month, use the hashtag #londonembroideryschool when posting the images of your work from class on instagram so we can see your progress and hand out some more discount vouchers!
