Advancing in your embroidery isn't just about technique; it's also about discovering and honing your creative voice and style. Just ask embroidery artist extraordinaire Danielle Clough. After laying down the basics in her first class, Danielle is back to take your stitching and creativity to the next level. Drawing on her years of experience, Danielle breaks down three intermediate techniques-portraiture, creative exploration through collage, and embellishment-that will elevate your favorite hobby to an art form.

Grab your embroidery thread and get ready to:

  • Add incredible dimension and detail to portrait embroidery
  • Explore your creative freedom through abstract embroidery
  • Learn how to properly trace on dark fabrics
  • Embellish your favorite article of clothing with a seamless patch

Plus, Danielle shares how to finish and preserve your work to make sure it survives the test of time.

By the end of this class, you will have leveled up your stitching, refined your creative voice, and learned methods to finish and preserve your embroidery. Whether you're creating for yourself or working toward your gallery debut, Danielle's class will elevate your creative eye and leave you with new techniques to use as you continue to build your embroidery skills.
