During the class, you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.

In this beginner tambour beading virtual class, you will learn more about this form of embroidery seen in Paris fashion catwalks.

You will be introduced to the tambour hook and how to control in all directions through the fabric. Your friendly teacher will give you loads of fantastic tips and tricks to help you stitch, cast on and off and use your beads and sequins without damaging your fabric.

The live online class will build your confidence using the tools provided to you in your DIY kit. If you need indoor activities to entertain you and learn a unique skill, then this workshop is perfect.

This is a really beautiful technique and a fun thing to do at home to learn some amazing new textile skills. You can add some wonderful beadwork to many different items to make them stand out. You can use the skills you learn to make some stunning handmade gifts for your loved ones.

The class can be recorded if all the participants (8 students per class maximum) agreed and it will be available to watch as many time as you like for 6 months.

Some sewing skill is recommended. You don't need embroidery or tambour beading experience as we'll cover this together.
