    Join us for this hands on, creative course in collaboration with The School of Historical Dress and learn all about the cut and construction of clothing made for English courtiers by both tailors and seamstresses in the mid-16th century. This taster course will provide participants with an introduction to the different techniques used to make clothes during the early Tudor period and explore the garments created for different occasions.

    Participants will be able to study several examples of garments and accessories from The School of Historical Dress's collection, similar to those featured in the art on display in the exhibition. They will then make samples of the various techniques involved.

    Tea and coffee will be provided but participants are asked to bring their own packed lunches. Your ticket will also include an opportunity to view the exhibition Holbein at the Tudor Court at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace and a 1-Year Pass, allowing you to visit our current and future exhibitions at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace as many times as you like within the next year. See here for more information about the 1-Year Pass.


    The income from your ticket contributes directly to The Royal Collection Trust, a registered charity. The aims of The Royal Collection Trust are the care and conservation of the Royal Collection, and the promotion of access and enjoyment through exhibitions, publications, loans and educational activities.
