Deep Dive Into Goldwork
Build, Refine & Master the Art of Goldwork
When I first discovered goldwork, I was completely amazed. The shimmer of metal threads, the elegance of the designs and the technical skill required to replicate - it was love at first sight.
But that’s not to say I didn’t have moments of frustration when tackling tricky elements such as Cutwork. But I learnt some amazing techniques, hints and tips that with a bit of practice changed everything and my embroidery quickly went from good to exceptional.
I know exactly how it feels to pour your heart into your work and still struggle to achieve the smoothness, precision, and polish you imagined.
That’s why I created this course — to take away the mystery, confusion, and frustration from learning goldwork, and replace it with clarity, confidence, and genuine joy in your stitching.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
This is the most comprehensive Goldwork course available, guiding you through over 30 Goldwork techniques across three progressive levels. You’ll move from building strong foundations in level 1 to advancing your skills in level 2, and mastering more complex techniques in level 3 — with clear, supportive, step-by-step teaching. You also have the option to purchase each level separately.
Build your foundation with techniques like felt and soft string padding, couching, pearl purl outlining, chipping, and cutwork.
Level 1
Level 2
Refine your technique with basketweave couching, plate, S-ing with spangles, and advanced cutwork techniques working over different padding types.
Master complex techniques including Italian shading, Or Nué, trellis, underside couching, diaper patterns and wheatears.
Level 3
Why You’ll Love It

This course takes what can seem like an exclusive, expert-only skill and makes it accessible, achievable, and deeply satisfying.
