As we begin the new year, let’s leave winter behind and achieve that New Year goal for trying something new.

2026 has already brought many things, including New Year’s resolutions, and some brand-new classes to RSN!

Drift away from winter and celebrate spring by joining one of our floral embroidery courses. These include Tutor Natalie Rowe’s Native Wildflower class or Tutor Sue Kim’s Embroidered Spring Flower Cards. Both take place at our magnificent home of Hampton Court Palace, where you can enjoy a day of craftmanship and finish with a visit to our lovely Shop to pick up a keepsake to remember the day.

Perhaps you’re not quite ready to let go of the cosy duvet days that winter brings just yet. If so, why not try one of our online classes  from the comfort of your own home? Including Tutor Caroline Homfray’s “Learning to Draw for Embroiderers” Courses one and two which can be taken in any order and are ideal for building confidence at your own pace. Or join Tutor Becky Hogg’s Goldwork class, which will guide you through the creation of a beautiful Metalwork Swallow that you can keep for yourself or gift to a loved one.

And that’s not all!

If you’re looking for a real treat, our Experience Classes offer a full day of embroidery heaven in settings that celebrate history, art, and craftsmanship. Embroider a Lily inspired by ‘Drawing the Italian Renaissance’ exhibition at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh with Tutor Helen McCook or visit Canterbury Cathedral to learn the art of Appliqué using the design of The Dove of Peace and Huguenot Chapel with Tutor Helen Stevens.

No matter how you choose to spend your new year, either venturing out or staying local, it is the perfect time to continue a long-held passion or begin a new one. Surround yourself with others who share a love for embroidery and the joy of making by booking a class today!
