Royal School of Needlework has a new exhibition called Stories in Stitch
Thursday 1 September 2016
The latest exhibition, opening on 19 September, will showcase a wide range of Hand Embroideries in Appliqué, Stumpwork and Raised Embroidery, featuring pieces from the RSN’s Archive Collection and its students. Visitors will be able to immerse themselves in these three enchanting techniques which lend themselves so perfectly to the world of storytelling.
The historic heart of the exhibition will feature two 17th century pieces in Stumpwork, when this technique was at its most popular. It will then sweep into the 20th and 21st centuries using the range of themes in Stumpwork and Appliqué. The exhibition will also include Raised Embroidery featuring more three-dimensional objects, for example in jewellery.
Open Tours are available for individuals and small groups of up to 8 people. All Tours must be pre-booked on their website or by telephone. There is also an opportunity to see current Studio commissions and permanent display pieces.
