Stuffy embroidery with rigid rules is a thing of the past! Find new inspiration and a new way to express your creativity with exciting and modern embroidery techniques.

Both teachers have warm, engaging teaching styles and will make you wonder why you’ve never tried this before!

Workshop Timeline

Milestone 1: First up, join embroiderer Danielle Clough in Painting with Thread: Modern Embroidery for Beginners, a Skillshare Original. Known for her groundbreaking techniques and nontraditional materials, Danielle walks you through preparing your needle, thread, and fabric; basic stitches for creating different textures and dimension; and her signature (surprisingly simple) color-blending technique. Share a photo of your embroidery in the Project Gallery by June 15th.
Milestone 2: Next up, join illustrator, painter, and all around creative Peggy Dean in Embroidery on Photographs with 10 Simple Stitches. In this class you’ll apply your new skills to a fun and interesting project. You’ll learn several styles of photo embroidery (mark-making, color fill, and adding unusual objects), and how to embroider photographs without damaging or tearing the image. Share a picture of your embroidered photo in the Project Gallery by June 29th.
