Royal School of Needlework

Day Classes

We offer embroidery classes for everyone in our lovely apartments at Hampton Court Palace.  In small, relaxed and friendly class groups you’ll learn to work techniques with experienced tutors. Classes are all practical and "hands-on" and cover a wide range of  techniques. Embroidery is a creative and satisfying art which can be used imaginatively in both traditional and contemporary designs.

One day and two day classes run regularly throughout the year at weekends and longer classes are held during the Easter and Summer holidays. If you don't know where to start or are a beginner try any of our Introduction Classes.  If you have had experience in a technique a Progressing course  is for you. These classes will extend your skill and knowledge.  And there are lots of fun classes for making practical items such as tiaras, brooches, book covers and Christmas decorations.  Book your day class here

Class kits
 You’ll be provided with a kit design and a pack of materials.  The kits are an additional charge and prices range from £20.00 to £40.00 depending on your chosen technique.  (For example crewelwork kits which use wool threads cost less to produce than goldwork kits containing metal threads.)
