We spent months creating these videos with Master Wu — and it was so worth it! He guides you step by step through silk embroidery, while also sharing the artistic thinking and Chinese aesthetics behind his work. It's not just a tutorial — it's a peek into the mind of a true master.

Check them out and get inspired!

In this tutorial, Mr. Wu teaches you how to set up a traditional Chinese embroidery loom—the essential first step in silk embroidery. We demonstrate using a mini loom from our DIY kit, but the same technique applies to full-size traditional looms. You can also substitute the black lace string shown with classic white cotton strings for a more authentic setup.

In this tutorial, Mr. Wu demonstrates how to skillfully split silk threads using just your fingers. Thread splitting is one of the most essential—and often most challenging—skills beginners face when starting their silk embroidery journey. Mastering this technique early on will greatly improve the quality and precision of your future embroidery work.

In this step-by-step tutorial, Mr. Wu guides you through the process of embroidering bamboo in the style of traditional Chinese ink wash painting.
