Needlepainting, often referred to as silk shading or thread painting, is the  slow and gentle art of creating lifelike images through the careful  positioning and blending of subtle shades of thread. This course  will explore the process of creating and designing a project, from  picking the subject matter to planning your stitch direction and  shading guidelines. 

After exploring the process of creating a project, we will start stitching an  exclusive design, created especially for Hand and Lock, depicting  a small magpie moth in fine silk floss thread. Putting into practice  the principles that can help to create the flow, movement and  depth of silk shading embroidery. 

Needlepainting is a slow and mindful process and this course aims to get  you started on your journey. You will not complete the embroidery  during the course but will be given the materials and knowledge  to go away and experience silk shading in your own time and at  your own pace.
