Creative Contemporary embroidery and beading with Isabel Greenslade
View map
£250.00
During this two-day course you will work with guest tutor Isabel to create a piece of contemporary embroidery art. The focus of the class is on developing your own artistic direction so that your final piece is unique to you. Isabel will be on hand throughout with guidance and support, drawing on over ten years of experience embroidering for brands including Burberry and Netflix’s Bridgerton, as well as exhibiting and selling her own embroidery artworks internationally.
Over the two days you will be introduced to the process of taking an embroidery design from concept to completion. You will explore how to form an idea, sketch and plot a design, build a colour palette, and select fabrics, threads and beads that bring your work to life. Along the way you will learn a combination of hand embroidery and beadwork techniques that allow you to approach embroidery in the style of ‘painting with
stitch’.
Isabel will bring examples of her finished art pieces to the studio for you to use as inspiration. She will guide you step by step through developing your own piece, offering insight into how embroidery is designed and created within the industry. By the end of the course you will not only complete a personal artwork but also gain a versatile set of skills that can be applied to future projects and creative explorations.
Guest Tutor – Isabel Greenslade
Isabel Greenslade is a hand embroidery artist and couture embellisher, specialising in contemporary hand embroidery and beading. The art Isabel creates is inspired by the concept of 'painting with stitch' using hand embroidery and beadwork without a set plan or direction for an abstract finish not typically associated with the craft of embroidery. Her work mixes different stitch types together with beading entirely by hand allowing each element to be considered and added to over time. Alongside creating embroidery art in her studio, Isabel works freelance as an embellisher for fashion, film and tv.
Please note this is an in-person class at Hampton Court Palace, East Molesey, Surrey KT8 9AU.
