Embroidery Level 1 Short Course

On the Embroidery Level 1 Short Course, students are introduced to a variety of hand embroidery styles including ribbon-work, cut-work, shadow-work and stump-work. During the course, students gain an understanding of the simple running stitch, laced running stitch, whipped running stitch and back stitch. Students then progress on to explore more complicated techniques such as French knots which can be used to attach sequins; a whipped spiderweb, a woven spiderweb and a needle-woven ribbon rose. A number of additional stitches are covered during the course including chain stitch, cross stitch, herringbone, ribbon stitch for silk ribbon flowers, fly stitch and split stitch for thread painting. Students finish the course with a broad repertoire of embroidery styles and stitches, and the confidence to develop further.
