Join me and stitchers from around the world in this new online goldwork course. It is based on a charming German book published in 1902 by Miss Amelie. She was a tutor at the Imperial School of Needlework in Vienna. It describes in great detail how to work a variety of goldwork techniques that were popular at the end of the 19th-century in Central Europe.
More information can be found on my blog and the F.A.Q. page.
As so many people have lost their jobs and are facing financial difficulties the course is open to anyone. However, as I and my husband are facing these difficulties too, I ask of those who can to donate through the PayPal-link provided in the PDF handout. Thank you very much!
The course has now ended. Below are all the PDF-Handouts and the Vimeo videos so you can study at your own pace!
