Royal School of Needlework Workshop

RSN tutor, Deborah Wilding will be teaching a bespoke Blackwork class at the Fashion Museum Bath Study Facilities on Saturday 1st October, 2016. This class is suitable for both beginners and more advanced stitchers and is based on this wonderfully preserved, men’s Blackwork embroidered shirt from 1600 which is currently on display at the museum as part of the exhibition 'A History of Fashion in 100 Objects’. The kit design will be a close replica of the motif on the shirt, using both traditional embroidery and counted Blackwork patterns on a white background to create your own piece of historic embroidery. You will be able to view the original shirt in the exhibition at the Fashion Museum during the class. The course kit, available to buy on the day for £22.50 (cash only), will include everything you require to complete the project. You may like to bring your own embroidery scissors and you will be able to borrow ring frames, magnifiers and lights (if needed) on the day. Tickets available from the Royal School of Needlework website. All attendees must be able to climb stairs as there is no disabled access to the Study Facilities. The class price also includes a ticket to the Museum to be used during October.
