This kit will be available to students who are registered for Ann Beck's Tuscan Embroidery Retreat in May 2026, presented by Creative Experiences.  If you registerer for the workshop, a kit will be reserved for you and you will be contacted at a later date with purchase information.

A limited number of kits are currently available for people who are not attending the workshop.  These kits will begin shipping between September 22 and September 30, 2025.  Kits ordered after September 30 will usually ship on the Monday after the order is placed. Thank you for your patience, these kits are all handcrafted by me, and take a lengthy time to produce.  There is a limit of one kit per person.

This is an advanced level kit based on my larger artwork Nightbirds.  Prior experience with silk shading and goldwork is recommended.  The finished embroidery is approximately 7 1/2" square and incorporates silk shading, goldwork, crystals, sequins, beads, and couching.  It is stitched on an irridescent sapphire blue silk taffeta background.  The kit requires a minimum size 12" slate frame, but can also be done on a larger slate frame if that is what you have.  If you have questions about what type of frame to use, please contact Ann.  This kit cannot be done in an embroidery hoop. 

International customers please note:  VAT, duties and any associated fees will be the responsibility of the purchaser.  You will be able to pay these online before delivery.  Thank you.
