The RSN Embroidery Studio is producing a series of NEW kits to celebrate our 150^th anniversary and we are launching the first one today. The kit is inspired from a design by artist Selwyn Image and can be made into a Tote Bag which is included in the pack as well as needles and threads.

Selwyn Image (1849–1930) was a leading British artist, designer, writer and poet with close links to the Arts and Crafts Movement. After an early career in the church, he studied with the architect and designer A. H. Mackmurdo and went on to produce many designs for stained glass and furniture as well as embroidery. The design featured in the kit is part of the RSN’s Collection and one of many that Selwyn Image created for us.

The RSN’s Collection is rich in designs from leaders of the Arts and Crafts and Aesthetic Movements: Walter Crane, William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, Selwyn Image, George Aitcheson, Gertrude Jekyll and many others. To mark our 150th Anniversary, the RSN Embroidery Studio searched through the RSN’s amazing design archive and rediscovered many treasures, including the design used in this kit.
