Join us for an exclusive hand embroidery class to create a stunning Jacobean Crewelwork motif, inspired by embroidered bed hangings from the bed chamber of Mary, Queen of Scots. In partnership with the Royal School of Needlework, this class will be led by RSN tutor Helen McCook, who has used the colour palette and meandering floral motifs of the bed hangings to create this stunning design, worked in crewel wools to linen twill ground. The kit for this one-day class includes the printed fabric, needles, instruction booklet and all thread needed to work this design.

This class is suitable for all levels of skill including beginners.  You may like to bring your own magnifiers, but you will be able to borrow ring frames and scissors on the day. Please do not bring your own scissors.

This event includes an expert-led viewing of the bed and other precious objects on display at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Book your tickets on the Royal School of Needlework's website.
