days. Using coloured cotton and metal threads, students will explore traditional Goldwork materials yet have a refreshingly modern design. There are variations on the finished design, depending on student preferences. During the course, students will be guided through the following: the “window transfer” method of design transfer, how to couch Pearl Purl and Passing Thread, stretching and wrapping of Pearl Purl, chipping as a way to use Purl, plunging and tying off metal threads, explore the use of coloured cotton threads to enhance embroidery, and make decisions about which stitches to use.
