RCT113 Tudor Rose inspired by RSN Dolls’ House Bed: In partnership with Royal Collection Trust at Windsor Castle
View map
£220.00
* This class is EXCLUSIVE to the RSN *
Please note this is one of two repeated RSN/Royal Collection Trust Partnership Classes to be held at Windsor Castle in April 2024. Early booking is essential!
By popular demand, we are delighted to be repeating this unique RSN Experience class inspired by the Tester Bed created by the Royal School of Needlework in 1924 for Queen Mary's Dolls' House. The Tudor Rose class will be held at Windsor Castle to mark the centenary of the miniature town house and students will also be treated to an intimate private view of the Dolls' House with a Curator from Royal Collection Trust.
The miniature stately eighteenth-century style bed in the King's Bedroom of the Dolls' House was made by the Royal School of Needlework and donated by our founder, Princess Christian (the mother of Princess Marie Louise). The bed is upholstered in pink and green silk with a quilt of pale gold and silk brocade which inspired RSN Tutor, Helen McCook's stunning design.
During the day you will learn appliqué, satin stitch, silk shading, how to couch and secure metal threads, open fly stitch and applying faux pearl and diamantés. These skills will all come together to create a beautiful Tudor rose set within a decorative quatrefoil.
This class is suitable for all levels of skill from beginner to advanced. Your kit will include everything you require to complete the project after the class. You may like to bring your own magnifiers (battery operated only), but you will be able to borrow ring frames and scissors on the day. Please do not bring your own scissors.
This event includes a Curator's private view of Queen Mary's Dolls' House: For nearly 100 years visitors to Windsor Castle have been astonished by the attention to detail of this one of a kind royal town house. Together with hundreds of household objects, each reproduced at a 1:12 scale, the house features working lifts, electric lighting and running water. Its library contains tiny books specially written by the greatest authors of the day. This dolls’ house was never intended for children, but instead to showcase the best of British art and design after the First World War. Your visit will be truly exclusive as Windsor Castle will be closed to the public on the days our embroidery classes take place.
