Goldwork - or metal thread embroidery - is an amazing way to add glamour and texture to your next cosplay or costume... and it's more accessible than you'd think! In the hands-on workshop we'll learn how to get started embroidery with metal threads, including selecting thread types, applying padding, and finishing your project.
This hands-on workshop serves as a beginner's introduction to the world of goldwork hand embroidery - no prior experience necessary! Students will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with a a variety of metal threads - learning where different materials might be applicable and which textures they personally like. We will also step through the fundamentals of beginner-friendly goldwork, including using padding, pearl purl, and bright check chipwork. Students will apply this lesson to a small embroidery project, which they may take home and finish at their own leisure.
