Have you ever felt overwhelmed in your embroidery journey?

If you've tried Lunéville crochet on your own and feel that, despite your effort, the results never quite match what you imagined — you're not alone. Many embroiderers who approach Lunéville share this exact feeling. It's time to change that.

The Lunéville Prelude is the key to unlocking your potential. Through clear, structured lessons, I'll guide you step by step — from setting up your frame to handling crystals, beads, sequins and thread — until you complete your first refined mandala. You'll build clean foundations, free your creativity, and discover whether this is truly your path.

Because your embroidery journey matters, and you deserve to see it take shape.

Who This Course Is For

This course is the right starting point for you if you recognise yourself here:

• You're a curious embroidery lover and want to seriously explore Lunéville crochet — not just watch a few random videos and hope for the best
• You're a sewist or seamstress who wants to add real haute couture embroidery to your craft, and offer something exclusive to your clients
• You already work with other embroidery techniques and want to understand if Lunéville is your next step
• You feel drawn to haute couture embroidery and dream, one day, of a more professional or semi-professional practice
• You care about learning clean basics now, so you don't have to unlearn bad habits later
• You're ready to commit time between lessons to actually practice

This course is probably not the right fit if:

• you're looking for a quick, easy project without focusing on technique
• you expect a fully advanced haute couture program with multiple mixed techniques
• you're not in a season of life where you can dedicate practice time between lessons

What You Won't Find Anywhere Else

There are other Lunéville courses online. Some are excellent. Here's what makes this one specifically what it is. 

The experience you'll learn from is built inside real ateliers, not just classrooms.

When you study with me, you're learning from someone who has stitched for the haute couture fashion houses themselves — not from the outside, but from within the ateliers where standards are set. That means every technique I teach you has been tested against the most demanding work in the industry: the kind of work where one imperfect stitch is sent back.

You'll also benefit from years of bespoke embroidery commissions for wedding and ceremony clients — pieces designed for the most important days of someone's life. 

You're also learning a tradition that has been recognised internationally. Training at Hand & Lock in London (the historic embroidery house that has stitched for the British royal family and the British Army for over a century) and at École Lesage in Paris (Chanel's embroidery atelier), plus finalist and winner placements in several international embroidery competitions including a Swarovski competition, mean that what you receive in this course is the European haute couture standard — adapted carefully for someone beginning their journey.

What this means for you: every minute you spend in this course is a minute spent learning what actually matters in haute couture work — not academic theory, but the real, professional standard.

Corrections come from me, not from assistants. When you submit an assignment in the Guided Edition, it's me reviewing it. Not a team member, not a junior teacher, not an algorithm. This is the part that platform courses and large-scale schools cannot replicate, no matter the price.

The cohort is intentionally small. I cap enrolment in the Guided Edition because real correction takes real time. You're not a number in a queue — you're one of the students I'm personally walking through the technique.

The focus is exclusively haute couture embroidery. This isn't a sewing course that adds embroidery as a bonus. It's a course built by someone whose entire professional life is haute couture embroidery. Every detail reflects that depth.

You're learning the European school of Lunéville. The technique you'll learn comes directly from the Parisian tradition — the same foundation used in the ateliers that supply Chanel, Dior and the Paris haute couture houses.

Personalised Corrections — The Heart of the Guided Edition

If you choose the Guided Edition, you'll have access to my personal support for 12 weeks of corrections. As soon as you complete an assignment, you upload it to the course platform. I'll respond with detailed, written feedback designed specifically to help you improve.

I correct assignments almost daily (excluding Sundays and holidays), so you're never left waiting. After the 12 correction weeks end, you can still send me questions through the platform until your year of access expires.

This is the difference between watching a course and actually learning a technique. You don't only see how Lunéville is done — you receive personal guidance on how you, specifically, are doing it.

A Solid Beginning, Not the Full Journey

Let me be honest with you: this course is not a complete map of haute couture embroidery. It can't be. Lunéville is too vast for that — there are filling techniques, advanced applications, design approaches and refinements that simply cannot fit into a first course without overwhelming you.

What this course is, instead, is the right beginning.

You'll leave with clean, reliable foundations. You'll know how to set up your frame properly, how to handle beads, sequins and threads with confidence, and how to bring a refined piece to completion. These are the basics that everything else in haute couture embroidery is built on — and the basics that, if learned wrong, are painful to unlearn later.

For some students, this beginning is enough. They'll keep Lunéville as a refined personal art and create beautiful pieces for themselves and the people they love. That's a wonderful destination.

For others, this is the doorway to my structured professional path — where we go deeper into filling techniques, more complex applications, and the kind of work that prepares you for serious commissions or professional practice.

In practical terms:

• Students who complete the Guided Edition with their assignments and final mandala are normally ready to continue with me into more advanced courses
• I assess readiness based on your real work, not on what you've purchased
• My goal is never to exclude you. It's to make sure you don't jump into advanced work before your foundations are solid

I don't expect perfection. I look for clean basics, the willingness to practice, and the ability to follow instructions carefully. Everything else is built on that.
