Online Stole-Making Course with the Royal School of Needlework

We are delighted to announce that the Guild of St Clare is collaborating with the Royal School of Needlework to provide a special online one day course in stole-making.

This is a unique opportunity to learn the skills necessary to vestment-making. The tuition will be provided by RSN tutor Heather Lewis, who has led previous Guild of St Clare courses at the Royal School of Needlework in ecclesiastical goldwork and burse-making.

As this course is taking place virtually, students will need to provide their own materials. Please email Lucy at lucyashaw@gmail.com for more details.

The date is the 30th October 2021, and the course will run between 10am and 4pm. Thanks to our long-standing relationship with the RSN, we are able to offer this course at a reduced price which, excluding the materials, is £108. Online booking for this event is now open: click here to register.
