Course Description

Celebrate the beauty of the iris in this six-week online Silk Shading course. Using this elegant bloom as your subject, you will learn how to create depth, form and realism through the careful blending of colour and stitch.

Across six weekly sessions, you will work step by step with your RSN Tutor to explore how to map colours, plan stitch direction and use light and shade to bring the flower to life. You will develop a range of Silk Shading techniques including long and short stitch, split stitch, stem stitch, holding stitches and French knots.

The six-week format gives you time to gradually build the embroidery, continue stitching between sessions and develop your technique with guidance throughout. By carefully layering colour and stitch, you will develop your understanding of the principles of thread painting while creating a detailed embroidered iris.

What you will need to bring

For our online courses, we recommend setting yourself up in a comfortable workspace with plenty of good light and enough room for your embroidery equipment.

Have your favourite embroidery scissors and any embroidery tools you regularly use to hand, such as needle threaders. If your course takes place in the evening, we strongly recommend using a daylight lamp so you can see your stitches and colours clearly.

Please make sure your fabric is framed up and ready to stitch before the first session. For larger designs, we recommend working on a slate frame or roller frame to help maintain an even tension and achieve the best results. For smaller designs, particularly those in our Introductory Collection, a smaller frame such as a seat frame is suitable.

All specialist materials required to complete your embroidery will be included in your course kit.
