Includes Imogen Melissa Kit worth £40
Join Imogen, founder of Imogen Melissa for an introduction to 3D beading and embroidery. In this workshop, you will learn a variety of 3D beading techniques to create your very own beaded and embroidered coral world.
To start the workshop, you will choose your embroidery kit colour, often the trickiest part of the day! The kit contains everything you’ll need for the workshop, along with some usual kit for working with the beads. Such as a big eye beading needle and bead mat.
You will have full assistance from Imogen throughout the day to help you master each technique. You’ll also be shown the hand-stitch techniques involved in creating the coral pieces such as French knots and seed stitches. Imogen will also be on hand to share her beading knowledge and answer any questions you may have. And of course, to thread any needles too!
Just make sure you bring your glasses if appropriate! More beads, kits and other beaded embroidery tools and materials will also be available to buy at the end of the workshop.
About the tutor
With a degree in textile design, Imogen Rhodes-Davies founded imogen melissa in 2020, aiming to modernise the perception of embroidery. Inspired by the colour and intricacies of coral reefs, she has developed a range of beaded embroidery kits and handmade artworks.
Imogen says: “The real passion behind the brand is to show off the wonderful world of beaded embroidery and to inspire others to try it themselves. Embroidered artwork brings something different to the home and complements existing art by adding colour and texture. I’m very passionate about modernising a craft which can be seen as quite traditional”.
