ONLTT07 Technical Thursday – Blackwork – Term 1
£478.00
Join Jen Goodwin, RSN Tutor and the author of Blackwork Embroidery, Techniques and Projects, online as she introduces you to all the major principles of Blackwork embroidery. Blackwork is a traditional form of counted embroidery worked on linen in black thread. Historically Blackwork is associated with the Tudor period but its history stretches back further and has been reinvented on multiple occasions. Modern Blackwork is now more associated with detailed shaded work which can create a photorealistic feel when worked properly.
The RSN has developed this approach through many years of Apprentices and is continued in the current Future Tutors programme.
The course is aimed at the beginner embroiderer and runs over three terms (of ten weeks each). Fees are termly and decrease with each term you take if you pre-book: £374 first term (plus kit), £284 second term and £252 third term.
A kit is included which contains all the materials you will need. You will also need a 24" slate frame or a 24" hand rotating frame either of which can be purchased via the RSN Shop.
If you don't already have the following, you will also need:
• Embroidery scissors
• Tape measure
• Glass headed pins
• Small ruler
