Create this shimmering composition of Three Goldwork Koi Fish from the comfort of your own home, at your own pace.
Learn with detailed, close-up workshop videos, together with comprehensive PDF written instructions.
The workshop was filmed live during the original class, allowing you to experience the genuine workshop as it happened. Every technique is demonstrated step by step and, with lifetime access, you can pause, rewind and revisit the lessons as often as you wish. There are no schedules, no time zones and no expiry date, just the freedom to stitch whenever it suits you.
Throughout the workshop, I'll guide you through creating this shimmering composition while demonstrating a wide range of traditional and contemporary goldwork and stumpwork techniques, including:
- Stumpwork construction
- Couching
- Chipping
- Sequin formation
- Colour blending with metal threads
- Padding
- Appliquè
- Professional finishing techniques
- And many more tips and techniques along the way
About the workshop
The workshop is taught over two sessions. During the first session, I demonstrate the techniques using the original Orange Koi Fish project before moving on to the complete Three Goldwork Koi Fish composition in the second session.
This kit includes everything needed to create the Three Goldwork Koi Fish shown in the photographs.
Many embroiderers enjoy the first session as an additional lesson in koi embroidery, as it explores the techniques in greater detail and provides inspiration for creating more koi in the future. The materials supplied in this kit are for the Three Goldwork Koi Fish composition.

About the workshop videos
The videos were filmed during the original live workshop, so rather than a scripted studio production, you'll experience the class just as my students did. You'll see every demonstration, explanation and technique in real time, with clear close-up views throughout. It's the closest experience to sitting in the classroom with me, and you'll also benefit from the questions and discussions that naturally arose during the workshop.
Accessing your workshop
Once your order has been placed, I will personally send you an email with access to the workshop videos and downloadable PDF written instructions. As I send these manually, please allow a little time for your email to arrive.
If you have any questions about the workshop, please don't hesitate to contact me at info@clarastitching.com.
Would you like to stitch more koi?
Many embroiderers enjoy creating additional koi in different colours after completing the project.
If you're ordering one of my Goldwork Supplies Boxes or Goldwork Bundles at the same time, simply leave me a note at checkout letting me know which colour koi you're planning to make. If I have the materials available, I'll be happy to include a few extra bits, such as felt, eye beads or sequins, to help you stitch another fish.
I look forward to stitching these koi together with you.
