Discover the magical world of Goldwork embroidery with this 3 hour embroidery taster. Our beautiful exclusive Goldwork tasters are the perfect introduction to metal thread work and its applications. Goldwork is the art of embroidery using metal threads. Historically associated with ceremonial and military uniform the technique is now also popular in customization, couture and interior design. Using threads that are imitation gold, silver, copper, or coloured allows embroiderers to create metallic surface designs that reflect light and create dazzling effects.

This is a beautiful edging technique and can be applied to a range of different projects.
