Course Content

During this 10-week course, you will learn hand embroidery techniques to create painted look embroidered pieces.

We will look at the importance of thread directions, colour choices, blending of threads, stitch sizes, volume of threads and a variety of different stitches, which will help you create your own piece. There will be practice templates to follow, for flowers, birds, butterflies and animals, and guidance and support, to help you create your own design suitable for thread painting.

Assessment Method

This is a RARPA based course, assessment is carried out though building of a portfolio and taking part within tasks matched to the individual’s personal targets.

RARPA stands for Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement which is the process of assessment for non-accredited learning. It is a means of validating the outcomes of programmes which do not result in qualifications. RARPA is a five-stage process which measures and records learners’ progress, achievements and attendance.
