Explore the rich history of Ceremonial Goldwork Embroidery with our beautiful new introductory course. Ceremonial Goldwork embroidery is steeped with centuries of embroidery history used at events including Royal Coronations, weddings and events of British Pageantry. Traditionally using 2% metal threads, Ceremonial embroidery is designed to dazzle under sunlight and optimise the beautiful nature of the threads used in its creation. Within this course, you will be guided by our expert embroidery tutors from start to finish. You will be taught the traditional methods of couching metal threads and adding sparkle with bullions. Spaces are limited so please reserve your spot to avoid disappointment.
Prior to your course: We will send you your design to transfer onto fabric prior to the course. Please transfer your design onto the fabric using the prick and pounce technique.
