Designed for beginners and experienced stitchers alike, it explores two foundational and versatile techniques: couching with metal threads and chipping with metal purls. Through clear demonstrations and guided practice, you’ll learn how to handle specialist materials with confidence while discovering how light, texture, and movement can transform your stitching. In this workshop, we focus on developing a contemporary, playful approach that encourages experimentation and personal expression. A specially designed printed fabric provides a vibrant and imaginative backdrop for your work. Rather than following a set pattern, you’ll use the design as a springboard for exploration—creating a series of unique hand-embroidered samples and stitch ideas. By the end of the day, you’ll have built a personal toolkit of techniques and textural studies that can be applied to future projects, from textile art to fashion embellishment. The emphasis throughout is on curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Whether you are completely new to goldwork or looking to refresh and expand your skills, this course will deepen your understanding of metal threads and open up new directions in your practice. You’ll leave not only with finished samples, but with the knowledge and inspiration to continue exploring the exciting world of contemporary goldwork embroidery. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RSN","offers":[{"title":"Sat 21 Nov (10:00am-04:00pm)","offer_id":62948510368074,"sku":"HCP26087","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1036\/4541\/3706\/files\/HCP26087-Metal-Threads-An-Introduction-to-Creative-Approaches-with-Hanny-Newton.1.webp?v=1786636803","url":"https:\/\/rsn.org.uk\/products\/hcp26087-metal-threads-an-introduction-to-creative-approaches","provider":"Royal School of Needlework","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
