We live outside the pattern because you don’t need rules. All you Needle is Love.Â
Join me, your thread obsessed bestie for a comprehensive course in the magical medium of needle work. Â
For years I’ve been asked how I approach embroidery, choose colour, develop ideas, and create work that feels uniquely my own. This class is my answer. Â
All You Needle Is Love is a deep dive into creative embroidery, covering the foundations, techniques, tools and playful experimentation that have shaped my practice. But more than that, it’s an invitation to find your own voice in thread. Â
Whether you’re picking up a needle for the very first time or looking to move beyond patterns and push your work in a new direction, there’s a place for you here. Â
Let’s get off the screen, make something with our hands, and build a community tied together in thread.  Welcome to All You Needle Is Love.
Hey there!
I'm Danielle Clough
I'm a Cape Town-based artist with a soft spot for mixing the old with the new. My work nestles somewhere between craft, pop culture, and contemporary art, shaped by an early background in design and photography before I found my way to embroidery in my mid-20s.
What you Will Unlock
Back to the basicsÂ
Dive into all my favourite tools, materials, and tricks so you can kick-start your embroidery journey with confidence. Plus a few cheeky discoveries I’ve made through years of experimenting (and making mistakes).
Thread that thinks like paint
 Learn to blend, layer, and shade with thread the way a painter works with pigment. You’ll learn to build emotion into your work through light, depth, colour, and direction.
Your colour languageÂ
 Through playful, approachable colour theory, you will learn to build a workable colour palette that's unmistakably yours.
