Often referred to as painting with a needle, silk shading is achieved using a variety of long and short straight stitches and colour blending to create an almost photographic quality.
This course will set you up with the basic skills needed to develop skills in this beautiful technique to replicate the texture of fur and to blend colours and shading. Taught in a small informal group, you will learn how to create split stitch, satin stitch and long and short silk shading using stranded cottons to create a charming Harvest Mouse design.
You will also learn the theory behind the order to work the sections of the design in, what order to work the split stitch in and where it should be used for each area as you build up the design.
This course is suitable for beginners.
Please note this is an in-person class at Hampton Court Palace, East Molesey, Surrey KT8 9AU.
