HCP24234 Goldwork Map Making — NEW
View map
£277.00
Create your own unique Goldwork map with RSN Tutor Sarah de Rousset-Hall at Hampton Court Palace this autumn.
Choose a location dear to you to transform into a dramatic Goldwork map on black cotton velvet, inspired by Sarah’s London Lights artwork which is now held in the Diana Springall Collection.
Students will need to bring their map with them, e.g. an OS Map (1:25,000 scale is ideal), or printout from Google Maps in order to create their design. The finished project will be mounted into a 4” hoop, so please bear in mind this scale when choosing your map. We will be able to use photocopiers to rescale images if required.
On the first day, students will focus on turning their map into a working design and stitch plan, sampling goldwork stitches and transferring their finalised design onto velvet.
On the second day, students will start to work their piece with guidance from Sarah, and instruction on mounting their work into a hoop once completed.
The kit includes: Black Cotton Velvet, Calico fabric for backing and sampling, Gilt and Silver Plated Goldwork threads, seed beads, sewing threads, needles, beeswax, mini velvet board, tracing paper and tissue paper. Your kit will include all the materials you will need to complete and mount the design, you may like to bring your own embroidery scissors and you will be able to borrow ring frames, magnifiers and lights (if needed) on the day.
You can explore many more stitches on the RSN Stitch Bank.
Please note this is an onsite class which will run from 10am-4pm at Hampton Court Palace, East Molesey, Surrey KT8 9AU.
