List of Requirements for workshop 14 November 2026
Contemporary Stitching based on Goldwork Principles
In this workshop we will be playing with Goldwork basics and turning them on their head to create contemporary and experimental stitching. It doesn’t matter if you have no goldwork experience or a lot, this is all about doing things differently, such as including unusual materials, making cordage and using goldwork materials in non-traditional ways. Hopefully a fun day of hand stitching, developing techniques to use in many other ways in your future projects….
Please bring:-
– Basic hand-stitching kit
– Embroidery scissors
– A selection of needles (eg some embroidery size 5 to put large threads in, and size small 10/11to thread through tiny metals and beads)
– Backing fabric of your choice (plain or patterned). Bring something that is loose(ish) weave – eg linen or light upholstery fabric. If bringing something very flimsy such as voiles or silk, you’ll need some backing fabric behind it to give it some more stability (and you will need to use a hoop). I will have some fabric available too
– Scraps of lace, fabric, etc to create background layered texture
– Various coloured embroidery silks and metallic threads
– Some polyester sewing thread
– Wadding offcuts
– pen
If you have them (but don’t worry if not, as usual we will have a selection to play with!):-
– Embroidery hoop c 8”
– Seat frame
– Non fabric scissors (for cutting metal threads)
– Any goldwork threads/bullion
– Wax block for waxing thread
– Selection of beads and sequins (and a beading tray or small piece of velvet to help stop them escaping)
– Selection of different weights of thread, eg Perle, knitting wool, silk
– Small pieces of felt
– Any interesting materials/items to enhance your sampler – if it can be couched or sewn through, it’s fair game!
Don’t forget your pack lunch
