Embroidered Letters: Thread as a Graphic Tool

You will begin by getting to know Florula's work, who will tell you about her artistic and professional career and how she met the "handmade design". It will also show you some of its most important influences.

You will discover the necessary materials to start embroidering; you will know the main characteristics of some basic typographies, the basis of the psychology of color and how a design is transferred to the fabric.

It will be time to play with the lyrics. You will start embroidering a cursive letter, combining block stitches and step back; You will continue with a Roman style letter and, you will discover the differences between two types of fillings, the nuanced point with mouliné thread and the flat point with perlé thread. Finally, you will work a sans serif typeface, using a combination of traditional stitches with cotton thread.

Florula will show you how to create three types of textures, to achieve depth effects and generate patterns, in sans serif typefaces and straight edges.

Finally, you will choose a color palette and apply the different stitches in one complete word, letter by letter.
