Two day workshop with Hand & Lock Regency Goldwork for Fashion Embroidery
Monday 24th Tuesday 25th August 2026
10am to 4pm
Total Course Price £250, deposit £50 (You will be in invoiced for the remaining £200)
Join us for a special two-day course exploring the art of Regency goldwork embroidery for couture fashion. Working with our expert tutors you will begin by learning the fundamentals of padding and how to build up different areas of relief within your design. You will see how padded foundations create depth and how carefully placed layers can transform a flat motif into a sculptural embroidered surface.
Once you have built your foundations you will be introduced to the specialist metals used in goldwork. You will learn the characteristics of each thread and wire so that you understand exactly how and when to use them. From there you will be taught the highest levels of application with techniques including couching, cutwork and decorative filling. Over the two days you will create a floral sample inspired by couture fashion embroidery. By the end of the course you will have a strong foundation in padding, metal thread work and finishing techniques giving you the knowledge and confidence to begin using goldwork in your own creative practice.
The workshop will take place within the historic rooms of the Buxton Crescent Hotel, Refreshments will be provided during the workshops.
Lunches can be purchased from the hotel bar and restaurant during the workshops (more information will be sent out to participants).
By taking part in the Hand & Lock workshops, you are supporting the charitable activities of the Buxton Crescent Heritage Trust.
