I have recently been appointed as Lecturer in Contextual Studies at the Royal School of Needlework. This is a fascinating institution, founded in 1872 in order to teach traditional skills in hand embroidery including Stumpwork and Goldwork. The setting at Hampton Court Palace is inspiring me to think about the interaction between fashion, textiles, architecture – and gardens- in new ways.
