This beautiful Blackwork kit takes its inspiration from the intricate charm of Scandinavian illustrations, blending simplicity and elegance. The centrepiece is a striking Blackwork design, meticulously embroidered with deep blue thread on a backdrop of natural-coloured linen, creating a timeless and earthy aesthetic. Surrounding the bird, delicate star patterns are stitched with shimmering white and silver threads, adding a touch of sparkle and depth. These embellishments not only enhance the overall composition but also evoke a sense of harmony, seamlessly blending the bird with the vast beauty of the sky above.

In this class, you will learn three distinct Blackwork patterns, along with the simple yet elegant art of counted embroidery. Additionally, you will explore how to embellish your embroidery with beads to add a touch of sparkle and master the couching technique to create a beautifully finished outline for your design.

The class kit will include everything you require to complete the project. 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.
