Intermediate

Join Hand & Lock's Lucy Martin for a brand new 3-day online course exploring the history of ceremonial Goldwork embroidery. Inspired by a c. 1900 Lord of the Privy Councellor Uniform once worn by Sir James Phillips Kay-Shuttleworth, 1st Baronet of Gawthorpe Hall, this design links both Shuttleworth Family ties to this ancient ceremonial post as well as Hand & Lock's Royal Commission on the Poseidon Teal ensemble worn by Penny Mordaunt at the Coronation of King Charles III.

About the Design

Lord of the Privy Councellor Jacket

The Privy Council is one of the oldest parts of the government and advises on the exercise of prerogative business and certain functions assigned to The King and the Council by Acts of Parliament. The Lord President of the Council has ministerial responsibility for the Privy Council Office, which manages Privy Council business.

In this three day class you will learn the fundamental techniques of Goldwork embroidery, exploring everything from design transfer through to couture finishing techniques of your final piece. You will learn how to create relief from the fabric with different padding techniques across the design. You will also learn the characteristics of different metal threads with various methods of application.

Hand & Lock will also be discussing how the traditional black wool coatee Lord President of the Privy Council uniform inspired the Poseidon Teal ensemble worn by Penny Mordaunt at the Coronation of King Charles III.
