Course Description
Create a delicate floral design on soft pastel pink linen, inspired by the charm of a traditional English garden. In this hands-on goldwork embroidery class, you will learn how to combine a variety of goldwork techniques to create small, intricate and beautifully textured flowers.

You will learn how to work circular couching to create elegant flower petals, as well as how to couch chipping and pearl purl to add texture, dimension and a touch of sparkle. Satin stitch will be introduced to add colourful accents and fine details to the floral design. You will also learn the S-ing with spangles technique to create delicate, shimmering leaves, adding movement and a subtle sparkle to the overall design.

The class will also explore how to combine these techniques thoughtfully within a small-scale design, helping you develop an understanding of texture, balance, and embellishment in goldwork. Suitable for those who would like to explore traditional goldwork techniques while creating a pretty and contemporary floral piece on pastel pink linen.
What you will need to bring

All of the specialist materials and equipment required for the course will be provided for you. We recommend bringing a notebook and pen if you would like to make notes throughout the course. And if you have a favourite mug, feel free to bring it along for your refreshment breaks!
