Join Jane Nicholas in her 2026 workshop for her Cicada Design. This small goldwork panel was inspired by a stylised drawing of a cicada, originally intended for appliqué. Using traditional goldwork techniques, and a variety of gold metallic threads, this design may be worked on a background of ink/black silk, or the fabric of your choice.
The cicada is surrounded by an ornate border, featuring small squares filled with an assortment of metallic threads, gold and bronze leathers, beads and spangles, all worked in a variety of techniques. Many of these threads, sourced from my collection of vintage metal threads, are tarnished – which, for me, adds to their appeal. As there is a limited quantity of these vintage threads, new, untarnished threads may be substituted, if preferred.
This panel may be framed, or inserted into the cover of a book or box.
This class is suitable for all levels of experience.
Discover Taetia's world of wonder in her annual workshop at The Den. After a childhood filled with beautiful books and a rambling garden, Taetia’s designs are inspired by nature and brimming with whimsy.
The Rock Wallabies is the latest in the fantastical lampshade series. It would equally suit the old and the young at heart! Filled with lots of cute creatures and a unique outback Aussie theme. Every time you look at this design there are more delights to smile over! And hardly a flower in sight, so this will have broad appeal to those less florally inclined.
Get started on a new project, or continue your Taetia design with a helping hand. Suitable for all skill levels. Kit not included.
