RSN Virtual Exhibition Faces & Figures in Stitch: Tapestry Silk Shading

Due to Covid-19, we are not currently able to run our Exhibition Tours at Hampton Court Palace so instead we have recorded a series of videos to continue to share embroideries from our students and the RSN Collection with you. This is the first recording which explains the technique Tapestry Silk Shading and showcases some of the wonderful pieces featured in our previous exhibition Faces & Figures in Stitch.

The last one was Sybil from Downton Abbey. The embroidery is so good I immediately recognized her and the scene it was from. Amazing job!

Beautiful works of embroidery. So lifelike. The drape of the clothing is exquisite.

They’re amazing! They have beautifully captured the softness and drape of the fabric. Every one of them is beautiful and expressive.
