Blackwork Embroidery: Royal School of Needlework Essential Stitch Guide

This series of Essential Stitch Guides has been produced in close collaboration with the RSN with the aim of providing a set of definitive works on traditional embroidery techniques.

All of the authors were chosen by the RSN and all are graduate apprentices of the Royal School.

In this guide to blackwork, Graduate Apprentice and tutor, Becky Hogg, shows how to develop many different patterns from the basic blackwork stitches, using detailed instructions and beautiful examples of traditional and contemporary embroideries.

You can even see my Morpork Owl, my learning piece worked in 2007, during my Apprenticeship at the Royal School of Needlework.
