Fiber Talk with Natalie Dupuis

Glitter and Gogh by Natalie Dupuis

Natalie Dupuis joins us this week to talk about goldwork, Or Nue, Italian shading, and other things related to metallic needlework. Natalie is a self-taught needleworker, designer, and teacher who has made great strides in a relatively short time and has developed an influential presence in today’s goldwork world. She regularly studies at the Royal School of Needlework and the San Francisco School of Needlework and Design. Natalie is also involved in a masters program focused on metal-thread embroidery and the origins and evolution of the Or Nue and Italian shading techniques. Her designs are unique, creative, and often involve a fusion of techniques. We’re confident you’ll enjoy the conversation and be tempted to try one of Natalie’s designs.–Gary and Vonna

Fiber Talk with Ilke Cochrane II

Ilke Cochrane’s Scotland the Brave design

Ilke Cochrane returns for a second visit this week. It’s rather common to talk to guests who have completed some form of education with the Royal School of Needlework. But Ilke is in the early stages of a certificate program, so I was anxious to talk to her and learn what she’s experiencing. Now I really want to take at least a class from the Royal School. We also get to learn about her experiences with a slate frame and more about her various designs. Also, through July, Ilke is offering a discount on her products for Fiber Talk listeners. Here’s how to get your discount: Email Ilke at [email protected] with your order and the code FIBERTALK10. You will get 10% off all chart packs including the Pick & Mix options and the Sets & Series (which are already discounted compared to buying the individual designs), and also 10% off one item from the Kits & Tools section (basically anything physical which has to be posted). Also, there are two links below (or on the Fiber Talk page for this podcast if you are reading this elsewhere. One is an article about her Royal School experiences since we recorded and the other is about her 2020 SAL. Enjoy the show.–Gary

This week I’m joined by Jenny Adin-Christie. She is a graduate of the Royal School of Needlework and a veteran teacher at the school. Her primary needlework efforts these days involve creating her own designs and teaching all over the world, along with regular classes in her own studio.
