Hand Embroidery - Beading Workshop

Hand Embroidery - Beading Workshop

Overview

During the session we will be working on a beaded embroidery design of your choice. This could be a standalone piece or it could be applied to a garment or turned into a brooch. You will learn everything you need to complete a small design in the class or finish a larger one at home and gain confidence in using beads and sequins in your embroidery.

What will we cover?

We will cover preparation techniques for framing up the fabric and tracing the design. You will then learn everything you need to know to get you started including how to use beads and sequins and combine them with some lovely embroidery stitches to create your beautiful design – techniques you can continue to use at home.

Who is this course for? Is there anything I need to know before joining?

For beginners who want to try something new and improvers that want to refresh their knowledge and explore new techniques and designs with guidance. All abilities welcome
