Summer Garden Class:
Stylised Flower Sampler

Live Online Class of 4× 2.5hr Sessions

£283.00

Teacher - Sonja Galsworthy

Join me on a journey to explore the wonderful textures of many different stitches to create this contemporary twist on a sampler

Samplers have been used throughout history to learn stitches and experiment with their uses but they don't have to be straight lines.

By using repetitive shapes you can compare the stitch densities and textures to understand them better. Using this stylised flower, we will fill in the shapes using combinations of commonly used stitches.

There is a guideline of how to do this for the beginners but you have free reign to play further and swap around the colours if you feel more adventurous

aimed at:

BEGINNERS

Complete beginners are welcome to join this class and learn all of the fundamentals to get you started on your stitch journey

EXPERIENCED STITCHERS

  • 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!
