Step by step you will be guided into the fascination of needlework. Each module of the Master Needle Worker distance learning course has 6 lessons in which a given motif and/or a sampler is worked. The whole course is crowned by a final project on a given theme. Fascination of the techniques, materials and colors with which you create your project with needle and thread as colorful and vivid as a painter with a brush.
In addition to the needlework technique there is a bit of theory, e.g. how the choice of working material affects the work, which needle is used for which material and why, which other tools are useful in hand stitching and how you can best set up your workstation.
The seminar is suitable for: Beginners, re-starters, Sunday stitchers, needlework maniacs and all those who can't keep their hands off needle and thread and give themselves a treat every day. So, foreveryone who likes to work with needle and thread, who is as fascinated by the whole range of hand stitching as we are and who is or would like to become part of the big worldwide family of happy stitchers. You don't need any more prerequisites.
Use it to create practice pieces, as preparation for developing your own courses, to create a pattern book, as preparation for a course at university or the practical part of the journeyman's examination for the profession of Designing CraftsWoMan subject hand stitching. Or:
Module I - Basics
We start with 5 different stitches or sub-techniques per lesson. This forms the introduction to the world of the art of hand stitching. We work in all 6 lessons with the same motif, which is always adapted to the technique. It is a traditional motif from past high times of needlework. This makes it easier to break away from our somehow innate conviction that you have to realistically implement every pattern.
Module II - Advanced
It continues with more stitches, more techniques and the first combinations and variations. In each lesson we will work a classic sampler and additionally a small design for which we will give you 3 templates to choose from. The planning for the execution will be created by you following certain guidelines and then of course also stitched...
Module III - Expert
Now it's almost done! In the last module you will learn more stitches and more techniques. Many things are combined with each other, it is experimented and varied in a modern way. The result will be 6 somewhat unconventional samplers in the form of our popular flower shell.
Final project
For the final project, we will give you a topic from which you will create a project of your choice under certain guidelines.
