Proud Teacher Moment!

by Leave a Comment

Indulge us, if you will, for a moment to be a boastful teacher bursting with pride at the achievement of our students. You know we love a picture and we just adore it when our community shares what they have learnt with us, and us then with you.
All the photos in today’s blog are taken by our students of their work. They all have taken the Introduction to Goldwork Online Class with kit and as you can see, have done incredibly! We love putting these classes together for you, but it means so much more when we get to see how pleased the members of the community are when they have produced something beautiful with their own hands.
It is absolutely thrilling the amount of these photos we get through so if you have been holding off taking a class that has caught your eye, hold on no longer. If these stitchers can achieve these sorts of results then there is no reason you can’t too. Perhaps in our next round of student photos, yours will be featured or could potentially win you a 10% off voucher for our website if selected as our student of the month by tagging us in your photo when shared on instagram.

Thanks to all the students who shared these images for their hard work and allowed us to share them in turn with you.

We particulally love it when given a brooch back so it can easily be transfered between garments or popped onto the strap of a bag. Find it in the drop down of the Camellia Online Class and Camellia Online Class Mini Kits to make your own.

The Camellia class is based on the classic Chanel Camellia shape, with our own take on the infamous design. Our pattern and approach means camellias can be made from any fabric of your choosing and so we have mini kits in a variety of fabrics, or you can use your own fabric and just follow the class online if you prefer.
