Learn Tambour Beading In-person

In this class, you will learn the art of tambour beading.



6.5 hours Class size 5 to 10 guests       £165 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

You will be introduced to the tambour hook and how to control it in all directions through the fabric.
You will initially use the chain stitch and how to cast on and off the fabric. Later, more professional aspects will be introduced including beads and sequins.
In the second stage, we will introduce the bugle beads and seed beads.
Later in the session, you will be learning how to stitch the sequins using the "en riviere" stitch technique.
The aim of this tambour beading class is for you to feel comfortable using the hook and how to apply beads and sequins to be ready to move on to the next level.
The class is pitched towards beginner students, and the limited class size will allow you to develop at your own pace with plenty of one-to-one time with the tutor.
Tambour beading will need practising at home to become comfortable, and I will make my beginner recorded class available for 6 months complimentary. In addition to the in-person class and the technique learned, you will be able to watch the videos as many times as you like :)
