It’s Spring Showtime!

29th February, 2024

We are thrilled to be returning to this year’s Fashion & Embroidery exhibition at The NEC Birmingham, the last time we exhibited was in 2019 before the pandemic and how the world has changed since then!

You will see all that glitters through a stunning array of Certificate & Diploma (C&D) Goldwork, RSN Future Tutor work, and some contemporary designs by the RSN BA (Hons) Hand Embroidery Students and Graduates.

Visit us on stand H30 and meet with staff and RSN Bristol and RSN Rugby C&D students who will be demonstrating on a frame – and you are invited to come along and stitch alongside them, you are all most welcome!

We are also running a 90 minute ‘Luna Moth’ workshop each day which you can book here. The kit was designed by RSN Future Tutor Graduate 2023, Abbie Carter, and will be taught by Head of Studio & Standards, Anne Butcher.

Anne will also be a Judge for the Madeira Embroidery Competition, which takes place on 14 March.  The theme this year is ‘Visions of Paris’. Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and, in 2024, it plays host to the Olympic games.

With its reputation for being a romantic and cultural city, famous for its iconic monuments, historic theatres, Fashion Houses and café life, there is so much to excite and inspire. The event Organisers have asked stitchers from around the UK to get creative and embroider their ‘Vision of Paris’, for a chance to win a fabulous prize and the Perpetual Madeira Trophy!

So, we are looking forward to seeing the beautiful display of work at the show and we hope to many of you there!
