{"product_id":"hcp26098-tears-of-stclare-brooch","title":"Tears of St.Clare Brooch with Lucy May","description":"\u003cp\u003eInspired by the symbolic eye motifs featured in my signature piece The Tears of Saint Clare, this class explores contemporary approaches to traditional Goldwork techniques through the creation of a wearable brooch. Students will learn how to prepare the design before creating the eye motif using a combination of couched metal threads, purls, and cutwork techniques. The piece will be embellished with a faceted gemstone and finished with a suspended glass teardrop detail. Finally, students will learn how to mount and finish the embroidery as a wearable brooch using a roll-over clasp fastening. Alongside technical embroidery skills, we will explore symbolism, devotional imagery and contemporary storytelling within embroidery practice. By the end of the class students will have completed a meaningful, eye-catching keepsake and gained confidence in Goldwork techniques including couching, cutwork and applied finishing methods. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RSN","offers":[{"title":"Sun 15 Nov (10:00am-04:00pm)","offer_id":62948515479882,"sku":"HCP26098","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1036\/4541\/3706\/files\/HCP26098-Tears-of-St.Clare-Brooch-with-Lucy-May.1.jpg?v=1786636814","url":"https:\/\/rsn.org.uk\/products\/hcp26098-tears-of-stclare-brooch","provider":"Royal School of Needlework","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
