RSN Workshops at the Artisan Fayre
27th March, 2023
The RSN is thrilled to return to the Artisan Fayre which will take place at Hampton Court Palace East Front Gardens from 12 to 14 May – a great family day out to look forward to during the warmer months!
The RSN will teach a 90 minute workshop every day of the Artisan Fayre. The workshops will take place in our learning studios which are part of the original grace in favour Palace apartments, not usually accessible to visitors.
We will teach this striking black and gold design to celebrate our 150th Anniversary Year, inspired by an original hand drawn illustration by Selwyn Image (1849-1930) from our extensive archive.
You will learn a variety of surface stitches and beginners’ Goldwork techniques. This is an opportunity to learn stem, trellis and chain stitch along with couched gold metal thread and spangles. Goldwork is synonymous with both Royalty and Ecclesiastical vestments and is just one of the many techniques the RSN is famous for.
The 90 minute workshop will take place from 11.30am-1pm every day and is £30, including the kit…with only eight places per day you must book early! Booking for the workshops is through the RSN website:
Please note that, to attend the RSN workshop, you must buy an entry ticket to the Artisan Fayre or show your Historic Royal Palaces membership card.
See you there!
