This beginner-friendly workshop introduces the unique double-sided finishing method that makes Su embroidery museum-quality. You'll work with a curated beginner's kit featuring pre-printed botanical design on natural silk, hand-dyed silk threads, and traditional needles-everything needed to learn fundamental silk shading techniques: thread splitting, directional stitching, and subtle colour blending to create lifelike depth and dimension.
