This design captures the movement of starlight through a dynamic fusion of contemporary Goldwork, intricate beading, and delicate featherwork in this luminous piece.

Over this three -week course, you’ll explore a rich variety of contemporary embroidery techniques, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design. You’ll learn how to handle and apply metal threads in fresh, creative ways, build textured surfaces with layered stitching, and incorporate beadwork. Each stage is guided, helping you grow in confidence as your design evolves.

Worked on a deep, cosmic-toned background, your piece comes alive through a vibrant palette of metallics and  iridescent beads. A defining feature of this design is the use of featherwork, adding lightness and organic movement that contrasts beautifully with the structured brilliance of goldwork and the bead embellishment.
