IMMERSIVE EMBROIDERY COURSE with Kasia Jacquot
Learn Kasia’s unique style of hand embroidery in a two-day course that combines her four unique practices.
Using carefully selected stitches that cover all her patterns.
Mastering the herringbone stitch to do large projects quickly.
Method for choosing colours for embroidery projects.
Method for knowing what stitches to choose for embroidery patterns.
Kasia has developed her unique style over many years of embroidery practice and influence from her Eastern European culture. Her work is bright, bold and imperfect and she openly encourages students to embrace imperfection and not unpick their work.
The two-day course has been specially designed to give students full autonomy over their embroidery practice enabling them to make pattern variations, colour and stitch choices.
Students will come away with all the skills to start AND FINISH embroidery projects with freedom as well as to make their own decisions about which stitch to place where, what colours to use and what to make out of their finished piece in the end.
The course is suitable for absolute beginners and seasoned stitchers who are looking at expanding beyond traditional practices.
In this workshop students will learn:
Kasia’s six go to stitches that cover most of her patterns. (No one needs to know the whole stitch bible!)
Easy ways to transfer a pattern onto fabric. (Find out why there’s a reason blank linen is so good to use.)
The herringbone stitch and how to cover large shapes quickly. (This might become the only stitch you’ll ever need)
Kasia’s favourite shortcuts and tips for easy embroidery. (Because embroidery is meant to be relaxing not frustrating)
