Hand & Lock, Goldwork specialists since 1767, bring you a taster class for complete beginners, providing an insight into the possibilities of working with gold metal bullions.

Goldwork is the art of embroidery using metal threads. Historically associated with ceremonial and military uniform the technique is now also popular in customisation, couture and interior design. Using threads that are imitation gold, silver, copper, or coloured allows embroiderers to create metallic surface designs that reflect light and create dazzling effects.

In this special 3 hour class, during London Craft Week, you will learn the basic stitches involved in goldwork.

I have tried to copy the information from Hand and Lock accurately but computers can create problems.   Please phone or email them for information and for booking a tour or class.  Enjoy.
