Thread that catches
the light
Goldwork is one of the oldest surviving embroidery traditions — worked for centuries on ecclesiastical vestments, court dress and ceremonial and military textiles, where metallic threads caught the candlelight. Medieval England's Opus Anglicanum is among its most celebrated chapters.
At la Joie Atelier, we bring this ancient craft into the present day. Some designs use traditional techniques, with metallic threads laid on the fabric and secured with small stitches. Others combine metallic threads with modern embroidery stitches. Our Goldwork collection explores both approaches, creating contemporary designs that hold the light in different ways.
What's inside a la Joie kit
Open the box and everything is already sorted. No tracing, no guessing which green is which, no trip out for a hoop.
Stick & Stitch pattern
The design comes on a self-adhesive, water-soluble sheet, separate from the fabric. Peel, place it where you like, stitch, then rinse it away.
Sorted threads
Every shade wound and sorted to match the instructions.
A wooden hoop
Sized to the design, and good enough to hang the finished piece in.
Real instructions
Written for this design — every stitch it uses, photographed.

A mother and a daughter,
and a great many threads
la Joie Atelier is run by the two of us, from a small home studio. We develop the collection, choose the cloth and threads, stitch and film selected designs ourselves, and pack every order by hand. Everything that leaves here has been through four hands.
