Royal School of Needlework
I just found out today the RSN is holding classes in Make It Glasgow (a sewing cafe near the city centre). They're running introductory day classes in crewelwork, blackwork, goldwork and silk shading. And, they're doing certificate courses that you can then take forward. However, the certificate is just shy of £1000 so not something I'll be doing anytime soon!
So I have signed up for a goldwork class as I figured out of all those listed it had the biggest leap in technique from regular embroidery. I can't wait! I used to do loads of hand embroidery when I was young but then sort of stopped in my 20s and I've only dipped in occasionally since. But I'd like to more and the goldwork appeals as something a bit different to anything I've done in the past.
The same teacher holds tambour and bead embroidery classes in London, I wonder if she could be persuaded to put that on the syllabus here!
