Summer Garden Class:
Silk Shaded Flower

Live Online Class of 4× 2.5hr Sessions

£283.00

Teacher - Sonja Galsworthy

Silk Shading is the technique most people want to master but it can seem daunting and scary at first. Using this simplified version you will start to understand the rules behind the skill and the repeating pattern gives you two chances to have a go. During the course you will learn the basic rules on how to paint with thread. Using 3 shades of pink you will turn a 2D shape into a 3D flower,

There is also a little bit of silver couching to add sparkle and cover up any imperfections on the edges (but sshhh.. don't tell anyone!)

Unlock the key to the wonderful technique of Silk Shading.

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!
