Goldwork Masterclass Book by Alison Cole

Alison Cole's – The Goldwork Masterclass 

Goldwork Masterclass is a 200 page soft cover publication showcasing Goldwork embroidery which started out as a two year face to face Masterclass for The Embroiderers Guild, Victoria (Australia).

This book has been written for all who love the joys of Goldwork. The opulence of metal thread embroidery has been associated with royalty, church and military regalia for centuries and now is readily available for all embroiderers to enjoy. 

Each chapter of this book looks at a different aspect of Goldwork – from traditional to contemporary.  Starting with a little of its rich history and the materials and paddings beneath, through to the glittering threads and techniques for their application – this book takes Goldwork apart to give you the inspiration to create your own beautiful metal thread embroidery.

Postage – the book is quite heavy – it weighs nearly 1kg – so the postage charges reflect this.
