RSN Tutor, Jung Byun, and RSN Studio Embroiderer, Masako Newton,  have their work on display at an acclaimed exhibition at the Aga Khan Centre in London.  The exhibition ‘Making Paradise’ explores the concept of Eden through Art & Islamic Garden Design and runs until 30 September.

To celebrate our partnership with the Aga Khan Centre, we created bespoke hand embroidery classes inspired by ‘Making Paradise’. This September Masako will teach students how to stitch her stunning Hellebore flowers featured in the exhibition and make one up into a brooch. Students will learn Silk Shading and Stumpwork techniques to create a beautiful pink flower lapel pin. The class will take place on Saturday 11 September at the Aga Khan Centre in London’s vibrant Kings Cross and can be booked HERE

Jung’s award-winning* embroidered Peacock mirror is also on display and was the inspiration for a bespoke RSN Online Class in June.

Making Paradise is a multi-sensory exhibition and aims to evoke a sense of delight and wonder around the concept of Paradise. The exhibition invites visitors to be inspired by the visual interpretations of Paradise made by artists from across the world.
