This class is part of the RSN International Summer School 2024
This is an in person class and takes place at Hampton Court Palace. The class runs over five days from Tuesday 27-Saturday 31 August 2024: 10am-4pm.
The class will be taught over 5 days, with the first day focusing on the groundwork, including different types of padding and working with Kid leather. The following days will cover Satin stitch and Long & short stitch for adding detail and shading. Working with Pearl Purl, Or nué and applying different types of Twist. With time set aside on the afternoon of the third day to work at your own pace on everything covered so far. Then continuing with Pearls and Spangles, Chipping, and finally Cutwork (including using different metal threads to create subtle shadow on the design) and S-ing.
The design is a great introduction to Goldwork as it contains plenty of repetition to allow you to really get to grips with each of the techniques. Learning how to handle the different types of gold thread such as Smooth and Rough purl, Elizabethan Twist, Bright Check, Grecian and many more. With details worked in brightly coloured silk threads, Pearls, and Spangles on a linen background.
The design is inspired by the royal crowns of medieval Europe. Particularly, the crown of Princess Blanche, daughter of Henry IV of England. Due to the marriage of Princess Blanche to Louis III Elector of Palatine in 1402, the crown was brought with her from England to the Palatinate as part of her dowery. After the English Civil war, Oliver Cromwell ordered the destruction of the English Crown jewels, which could have included the Crown of Princess Blanche had it still been in the country at the time. This, therefore, makes it the oldest surviving royal crown affiliated with England, and it can still be seen in Munich today.
You can explore many more stitches on the RSN Stitch Bank.
