This summer we will be celebrating the heritage of the Royal School of Needlework and its unique historic embroidery and textile collections with a carefully curated online Summer Series of classes during July and a dedicated in-person Summer School at Hampton Court Palace in August. Delving into the school’s Collection and Archive, our world-renowned Tutors have created a series of classes that engage with different techniques and collections pieces. Some of the Collection and Archive-inspired classes will also give an opportunity to see these pieces in person and to learn more about them from our Curators.
