I had a lovely day last week, teaching a day-workshop on Goldwork to East Grinstead Embroiderers. It’s so nice to share tips and ideas, and to see people respond. Some had done some goldwork before but others were new to it. It’s a mysterious world of strange terms and specialist techniques, which is highly addictive once you get sucked in. Well done particularly to one member who had never tried anything like it before and seemed very chuffed with her results. Followed a few days later by a talk to Bromley Embroiderers. No photos from that, but what a lovely welcome from the group. It’s so good to see former Embroiderers Guild groups flourishing, and the love of embroidery and textile art being enjoyed and shared.
