Royal School of Needlework Open Day – 22 June
The Glasgow Art Club
Saturday 22 June
10 am to 4 pm.
We are more than excited to welcome lots of our Scotland-based embroiderers to our stitch social next month!
Join us for a free drop-in session, to work on some of your embroidery, or just get to know other stitchers!
Entry to the event is free, just ring the Glasgow Art Club doorbell on arrival.
On the day, Stitch Social visitors will be invited to add more stitching to the ‘Processions’ banner which was created by RSN Scotland students for the march in 2018, in Edinburgh. Processions was a mass participation artwork that took place across several British cities, celebrating 100 years of when British women won the vote. Tens of thousands of women marched “forming a living portrait of women in the 21st century and a visual expression of equality, strength and cultural representation”. Those marching wore the purple, green and white colours of the suffragette movement, with many holding banners that they had created, including RSN Scotland.
The RSN first started teaching Day Classes at the Glasgow Art Club in 2011 followed by the RSN Certificate & Diploma in Technical Hand Embroidery in 2012.
RSN Scotland is keen to promote and extend the art of hand embroidery, which has long been key to Scottish culture and trade and welcomes students from all over Scotland.
