Summer Garden Class:
Lily of the Valley

Live Online Class of 4× 2.5hr Sessions

£288.00

Imagine the delicate scent of Lily of the Valley...

The simplicity of this Lily of the Valley posy worked in Shadow Work belies the skilled steps required to complete this elegant design.

The fun of shadow work is seeing the layers of fabric combined with specific stitches create a design that shows off the reverse of the work allowing it to be visible from the front. Stitches are always worked with the knowledge that if the thread is carried across the back of the work, it must be done with purpose as it will be visible from the front and will form part of the design.  The design also includes ‘captured sequins’.

This project requires certain steps to be completed before the next one can begin. To assist the student, this class will be taught over 4 short sessions to allow the student time to complete each step between classes.

Booking for this class is now closed.

Students are saying…

  • Excellent Artist and Teacher

    Kelley’s classes are the best. I’ve taken two classes from her over two years. Her demonstrations are clear and easy to follow. She has perfected her on-line teaching style. I’ve found her to be kind and patient and she frequently throws in a little example or historic fact to keep things interesting.  My fellow students have ranged from beginners to advanced stitchers and I believe everyone has been happy with the instructions we’ve received.

  • Wonderful Goldwork

    I took Kelleys Goldwork sampler course which covered all aspects of Goldwork and a few extras such as how to mount your work. A well designed course, very well delivered and a lot of fun. It has definitely improved my Goldwork skills! Kelley is enthusiastic and very helpful.

  • What a Brilliant Experience!

    I've just finished the class portion of Kelley's Goldwork Sampler and I'm really sad it's over. I have done a number of 2 day classes in this technique over the last few years, but I found working in this manner (Zoom classes at fortnightly intervals over nearly a year, with video clips of the techniques available through the portal) meant that if you found there was something that didn't make sense later, you could check back, or more importantly, ask a question at the next lesson. I've picked up on a lot of tiny things that have led to some very satisfying improvements in the quality of my work, learned some really useful techniques, and got links to sources of otherwise hard to find equipment. (Especially useful as I'm located down under in New Zealand.) Thank you Kelly for a wonderful experience - I had a blast!
