#marchmeetthemaker #howilearnt, The Royal School of Needlework, based at Hampton Court Palace is where I studied full time for three years on the apprenticeship . Every type of hand embroidery you can imagine was covered and I loved it...mostly! Not English smocking! The view is from the classroom where I now teach on the future tutor course. The wild rose is my first attempt at thread painting worked in my first year. #threadpainting #silkshadingembroidery #meetthemaker2019 https://www.instagram.com/margdierembroidery/p/BvBz4fRAHFx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1allidnes4sah

Hope this helps all you students out there like myself. Not all of these will work for you but hang in there and find what you love to do. Once you do that, everything else is a piece of cake!

For today’s #marchmeetthemaker prompt of #howilearnt there’s no straightforward answer! Like many other creatives you learn new things through following your instinct, curiosity & by doing. Whatever training or talent we may have, an important ingredient to remember is to play and see what happens, so here we are playing with dirty water after painting up some moon garlands, getting mesmerised 😂 #video #ink #silverwater #wip #workinprogress #inthestudio #behindthescenes #paint #play #creativity #creativelife #creativelifestyle #enjoythemoment # (at Glasgow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvAN9zgHrhR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3icdmc8mk3j8

March 14, 2019 and today’s prompt is #howilearnt #marchmeetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2019 @joannehawker I’m posting an oil painting that I did when I was 16. I learned almost all my technical skills for painting and art from my high school teachers—Ms. Walker, Mr.Johnson, Mr.Hansen, Mr. Miller and Mr. Bede Clark. So that’s where I learned the foundations... from the teachers at #gibbshighschool #pinellascountycenterforthearts #pcca Oil on canvas, self portrait (at Saint Petersburg, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/kosharekart/p/BvALm_HA-hk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1poxci2d6tij2
