This summer saw the return of the Certificate & Diploma Summer Intensives at Hampton Court Palace and we welcomed several students from Belgium, Ireland and the USA. Those attending all eight days, in each two week block, were also joined by students attending occasional days so that they could continue work on their pieces over the summer. There has been a mix of techniques including, Jacobean Crewelwork, Canvaswork, Silk Shading, Tapestry Shading and Blackwork, with some wonderful designs.

The Summer Intensives are now finished, and our classes at Hampton Court Palace are returning every day for the new academic term. Jacobean Crewelwork Starter Days will also be available at Hampton Court Palace. Our Satellites of Bristol, Rugby, Durham and Glasgow will be returning from September and we are looking to forward welcome back even more of our students to these venues.

In addition, this month sees the start of another three groups of Online Jacobean Crewelwork modules over three time zones and we have been busy packing and wrapping in order to get everything to the students for the start date.

Currently all our ‘Open Days’ have been moved online and we have been experimenting with times, our last one was at 8am BST to suit the Southern Hemisphere time. We were initially a little surprised to see attendees enjoying a glass of wine, only to remember they were of course attending early evening, their time, and not breakfast, our time!

Our next C&D Virtual Open Day will be Thursday 16 September at 1pm. Book your place here.
