The ancient craft of goldwork embroidery continues to draw crowds of admirers, and Kathleen has found a way to create the same beautiful finished results in a fraction of time.
In this interview we find out more about the goldwork techniques that Kathleen enjoys teaching. These include couching and leatherwork. We also find out why she sought out the shortcuts that provide her with the same high quality finished item.
In earlier interviews and workshops with Kathleen, we learned that Kathleen loves to use organza and hates waste. You'll hear about how tiny bits of organza can also find their way into her goldwork projects.
So enjoy this overview of Kathleen's work and be prepared to be inspired!
