View map
£180.00
Please note this is an onsite class which will run from 10am-4pm at Canterbury Cathedral
Join us for a Goldwork hand embroidery class in partnership with the Friends of Canterbury Cathedral on Saturday 13 June. The exquisite Canterbury Falcon motif designed by RSN Tutor, Helen Stevens is based on an original 12th Century Dalmatic (vestment) fragment worn by Hubert Walter (Archbishop 1193-1205) now housed in the Cathedral Collections.
During the class, you will learn all the techniques necessary to complete the stunning design including Satin Stitch, Stem Stitch, Couching Gold Passing, Or Nue (couching passing with a coloured thread), Couching Pearl Purl and Applying Gold Twist. Some experience of embroidery would be useful but all aspects of the design will be covered during the class and a full instruction booklet will be included in the kit to enable you to complete the embroidery at home.
The class cost includes all materials and necessary equipment and your kit comprises everything you require to complete the project. You may like to bring your own embroidery scissors and magnifiers if you need them, but you will be able to borrow ring frames and scissors on the day.
As part of your class, you will have the chance to visit the Cathedral Archive with a Curator where you will see the original Hubert Walter fabric (Image reproduced courtesy of The Chapter of Canterbury Cathedral).
RSN and The Friends of Canterbury Cathedral have a long history of collaboration. In 1935 Dr E W Tristam designed a fabulous Friends of Canterbury Cathedral banner which was embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework. It is currently on display in a darkened area of the Crypt.
This event includes entrance to the Cathedral. You will be able to visit the Cathedral after the class until 5pm.
Joining Instructions
Registration commences at 9.45am and please meet the Shepherds at the Christ Church Gate or the Welcome Centre who will guide you to the Community Studio overlooking the main entrance to the Cathedral.
Food and drink (other than bottled water) may not be consumed in the classroom, but you may bring a packed lunch to eat in a designated space.
Blue Badge Parking: there is limited parking on site and this must be booked in advance with [email protected] but cannot be guaranteed.
