Silk and Thread Botanical Brooch Class

Description

Anna is a Melbourne-based textile artist who works from her home studio creating whimsical, nature-inspired pieces under the name Anna Victoria.Her work blends fabric, embroidery, embellishment, and illustration, with a focus on mindful hand-stitching and a deep love of the creative process.

In this workshop, Anna will guide you through making a stunning botanical brooch using silk, velvet, wire and beads. She will teach you an array of clever techniques to create volume, depth of colour and texture in your piece. The end result will be a soft and sculptural rose bloom – inspired by old-world florals but with a fresh, contemporary feel. You’ll learn how to shape and stitch petals, embellish with beads, add embroidery and sculpt leaves with wirework so your piece has gentle movement, texture and life.

Anna provides all the materials you need in an exquisite kit.

Some beginner level sewing experience is recommended but not required.
