We are very excited to be teaching a series of one day classes at Lancaster Castle this month.  RSN Tutor and textile expert on the BBC TV programme Repair Shop, Sara-Jane Dennis will be teaching four different classes for all levels from Wednesday 28 – Saturday 31 October.  Students can choose to stitch a Crewelwork bird, Silk Shading Flower, Goldwork brooch or to de-stress in a unique Mindfulness class.

For those who have never picked up a needle before, choose the Introduction to Crewelwork bird (Wednesday 28 October) or the relaxing Mindfulness class to make a ‘Tree of Life’ lavender bag (Saturday 31 October).  For anyone who likes to stitch and wants to take the next step, learn what it means to ‘paint with a needle’ and create a stunning flower using the Silk Shading technique (Thursday 29 October); alternatively stitch a Goldwork brooch (Friday 30 October).  Classes start from £114 (cost of classes vary depending upon kit which is included).

Dating back to Roman times, Lancaster Castle is one of the most historically fascinating surviving buildings in the country.  Please note that there are currently no internal tours of the Castle and only the courtyards and café are open to the visiting public.  Covid protocols are in place, including social distanced tables in our classroom and clear in and out routes.
