Taking what we learn in the Tambour online class as a foundation, we will be pushing those skills much further by showing you how to approach artworks of your own and work with unusual materials in this three class series.

Starting in the first class with the preparations of an artwork and your materials, we will then learn about the couture fashion technique of Vermicelli for creating a surface covering of sparkly sequins.

Class 2 will see us tackle some goldwork materials, using tambour to apply bright check chipping and Pearle Purl lines. And in the final class we will learn to create a spray like effect with bugle beads along with satin stitch using a wool thread over wire.

All these techniques are achievable using the tambour chain stitching approach in this class and will come together as one black hole design in a presentation hoop included in the mini kit accompanying the class. Purchase all the parts together with your kit to make a saving.
