Upcoming Workshop!
.
I am delighted to announce that I will be a guest tutor at @handandlocklondon this November. I will be teaching a 2 day workshop on Creative Metal Threads: Exploring Light and Reflection.
.
Discover the beauty and brilliance of goldwork embroidery in this Creative Metal Threads Workshop, where traditional techniques meet contemporary artistry. This hands-on session introduces you to the fundamentals of goldwork embroidery, with a special focus on how metal threads interact with light and reflection.
.
During this workshop you will learn essential goldwork techniques, including padding, couching, chipping and working with different types of metal threads. Once familiar with the basics, you’ll have the freedom to explore these techniques creatively, designing and stitching your own unique goldwork art piece.
.
The workshop will be held in person at the Hand & Lock Embroidery School, London on the 22nd-23rd November 2025.
.
Places are limited so if you would like to book onto the workshop then please follow the link in my bio or head over to the Hand&Lock website.
