The RSN Fellowship Programme was launched in 2024 to recognise the significant commitment and expertise of RSN professional embroiderers and tutors and celebrate the high standards achieved after three years of dedicated study across a broad variety of hand embroidery techniques and applications.

Customers frequently tell us how much they value and appreciate the skill and knowledge of our professional tutors and actively choose RSN trained tutors and embroiderers when considering courses and other projects.

As experts in the field of embroidery they pursue professional careers and help further the mission of the RSN. Fellows of the RSN renew their membership on an annual basis and undertake to continue their own professional development each year to enhance their overall skills and ensure they are up to date with the latest and most relevant developments in teaching generally and embroidery as relevant.

As well as training to the highest level in technical hand embroidery, the RSN also ensures its tutors learn about the history, development and uses of hand embroidery over the years. This is further complemented by classes in Art & Design and Business Skills, as well as opportunities to assist qualified tutors, demonstrate and teach at various classes, workshops and exhibitions to gain valuable teaching practice and complete a teaching qualification (AET Level 3)
