Description
With guidance from Royal School of Needlework fellow Emma Broughton, you will explore a rich goldwork vocabulary—couching, or nué with Japanese thread, pearl purl, chipping, leather over padding, and cutwork over felt—together with the art of silk shading. This thoughtful combination makes the project an ideal way to learn or strengthen technical skills while creating a piece that is both beautiful and timeless.
Schedule: The project begins on July 6, with the first lesson released, and the second lesson released on July 20. Support continues until August 17, 2026.
