Synopsis

Created to reflect the Royal School of Needlework’s approach to teaching hand embroidery to a high standard, this guide offers expert tuition in blackwork. Becky Hogg, a Graduate Apprentice and tutor, explains how a wide range of patterns can be developed from the core blackwork stitches, supported by detailed instructions and carefully chosen examples.

Alongside a look at the history of blackwork, it includes guidance on the materials required, a focused exploration of the stitches used, and a final section on changing the appearance of patterns through different shading techniques. Historical pieces sit alongside contemporary embroideries by the author and other RSN apprentices.
