Course Description

"In Flanders fields the poppies blow..." Join us this November for a silk shading class inspired by the enduring symbol of remembrance. Using a striking poppy design, you will learn how to create depth, shape and detail through the careful use of colour and stitch. Throughout the class, you will explore a range of silk shading techniques including long and short stitch, split stitch, stem stitch, holding stitches and French knots. With guidance from your tutor, you will learn how to blend threads and control stitch direction to bring the petals and foliage to life. Once completed, the finished piece will measure approximately 12cm x 20cm. All materials required to complete the design will be provided. Please bring a notebook and pen if you would like to make notes throughout the class.

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.
