GOLDEN FLORALS: AN INTRODUCTION TO GOLDWORK – Kathleen Laurel Sage – 09.45
Learn the traditional technique of couching gold cords to form a delicate flower. Apply gold purl wires and check wires to create the flower’s center and raised stemens. Finish with spangles and beads to make a small gold work plaque.
Advisory Note:
Not suitable to children under 16 years.
Make & Take: The Makerss
Make a beautiful needle felted butterfly or flower brooch with The Makerss! Sessions will run on demand throughout the day.
The flowers and butterflies are brooches and quite large at 8-10cm. There are two different techniques to learn and everybody gets to take their flower or butterfly away together with a no-sew brooch pin so you can wear it already as a brooch straight away.
£5 per brooch and it will take about 20-30 minutes to make one item. You will also take away the felting needle you have used.
No advanced bookings, please book on stand at the show.
