Woodland Wreath Mini Sampler
(A Live Kit-Based Class)

A bite-sized Woodland Wreath experience
— all the techniques, less commitment…

Step into the Woodland Wreath world with this delightful mini-sampler class — a condensed adventure through the key techniques featured in the longer course. Over one wonderfully focused week, with a session each day, you’ll try your hand at a sparkling mix of Goldwork, Stumpwork, and Freestyle Embroidery along with eight different types of Needlelace, creating small example motifs that showcase each skill. It’s the perfect choice if you’d love to explore the techniques without committing to a larger design or longer programme — a taste of everything, without the pressure. By the end, you’ll have a charming sampler and the confidence to journey further if you wish.

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!
