Embroidery Classes<br />
Instructor: Lucy Barter<br />
Embroidery is the art of decorating fabric with<br />
a needle and thread or yarn. Its age of origin is<br />
unknown, but examples survive from Ancient<br />
Egypt, Iron Age Northern Europe and Zhou<br />
Dynasty China. <strong>Filoli</strong>’s permanent collection<br />
includes rare pieces of embroidery, so we are<br />
pleased to continue teaching this important art<br />
form. Using kits designed by the instructor, a<br />
graduate of the Royal School of Needlework<br />
at Hampton Court, students create individual<br />
pieces using a different technique in each<br />
workshop. These classes require no experience<br />
but can also be good for an accomplished<br />
embroiderer to brush up on techniques.<br />
Stumpwork<br />
Date: Friday, April 12<br />
Time: 9:30 am – 3:30 pm<br />
Stumpwork is made up of raised embroidery<br />
elements, such as silk-shaded 3D wired petals<br />
and leaves, or wings to a butterfly. The thread<br />
used in this class is embroidery floss on a<br />
twill background fabric, with some wired gold<br />
threads and swatches of fabric for making the<br />
3D components. Some of the stitches used<br />
are also used in Jacobean embroidery, and in<br />
class you will see how they can be used to<br />
create a very different embroidery look.<br />
