Discover a playful approach to goldwork embroidery.

Spend the day exploring the creative possibilities of metal threads in this fun and open-minded workshop. This class gives embroiderers of all levels of stitch experience the opportunity to get creative and explore the possibilities of the goldwork techniques of couching with metal threads and cut work with metal purls.

This workshop will give you a grounding in the foundations of goldwork and then introduce you to creative ways to explore these centuries-old techniques and threads.

Suitable for all levels of stitch experience.

Please note this class involves small scale, close-up work.

From her studio in Shropshire, she works internationally with interior designers and art consultancies, applying her creative approach to historical techniques to large-scale projects for hotels and private residences around the world.

She was awarded the QEST Broderers Company Scholar 2023, and the winner of the inaugural Sanderson QEST Rising Star Craft Award 2024. She teaches her contemporary approach to goldwork internationally, including at Westdean College, Hand&Lock, the British Museum, and to embroidery groups internationally.
