This highly-specialist Hand Embroidery BA (Hons) course is taught at the prestigious Royal School of Needlework (RSN), based at Hampton Court Palace. The average intake is just 20 students per year, enabling a high level of student / tutor contact time.
As an adjunct to the physical materials collection, students engage with digital collections as part of their learning to make comparative analyses of objects. We are also proud to offer an annual lecture programme of visiting speakers, which contributes further to the contextual learning environment.
Onsite teaching for this course takes place in studio spaces using the RSN specialist art and design library, IT suite and handling collection. Offsite learning occurs through a bespoke series of visits to galleries, exhibitions and collections, online tutorials and opportunities to follow hand embroidery techniques online.
