Reviews
Inspired by her seamstress grandmother and aunt, Shan Xu began exploring textiles by sewing vintage style purses. She then discovered her love for crafts and it eventually became part of her career as an artist.
Her work incorporates traditional Chinese silk techniques in stumpwork embroidery. She has taken on various commissioned work and has her own online shop on Esty. All her work can be seen on her instagram page, @shanxuhandmade.

This is a lovely course. Very well explained and easy to follow. I have done a fair amount of stumpwork before doing this course and really enjoyed the additional techniques and alternative methods shared. Thank You Shan.

PlusI found this course to be unique in its subject and procedure. It was presented clearly with well thought out steps. The presenter spole in a clear voice at a slower pace. The materials were easy to acquire and not expensive, Marlene
