Join me live on Zoom to stitch the Purple Finch brooch, a project perfect for those who love detail, shine, and stumpwork construction.
This class takes place in two live sessions (2 hours each), and is suitable for confident beginners and intermediate embroiderers looking to expand their skills with metallic threads. We’ll cover all the steps from tracing the design to finishing the brooch with a neat, professional backing.
You’ll learn a range of traditional and modern goldwork techniques including:
- Couching and chipping
- Felt padding for raised areas
- Working with plate/metal strip
- Apliquè
- S-ing with purls
- Sequin formation
- Finishing and constructing a brooch backing and more
💌 After you sign up, I’ll send you a personalised email with the Zoom links, material list, and supporting materials.
The sessions will be recorded, and you’ll have lifetime access so you can revisit the lessons anytime.
🎁 The class includes a complete materials kit: printed pattern, fabric, needles, threads, goldwork metals, felt, and everything you need to complete the brooch.
You will also need:
- 8" hands-free embroidery hoop
- Goldwork scissors (or dedicated scissors for metal threads)
- Regular embroidery scissors
- Velvet board or soft surface for cutting metals
- Heat-erasable pen (e.g. Pilot FriXion) or pencil
