THE ROYAL SCHOOL OF NEEDLEWORK

The Arts Society Westminster recently gave a grant of £1000 to The Royal School of Needlework as a bursary for a student on their Future Tutors Programme.

Chief Executive of RSN:

‘The Future Tutor Programme enables us to grow our number of teachers, ensuring their skills are up-to-date and to continue our mission by being able to spread stitch skills’.

Student Comments:

‘The bursary scheme is a massive help, as it means I can focus on the course…’.

‘I feel so privileged to be on the Future Tutor Programme. Without this course, the art of technical stitching could die out’.

‘I would love to teach classes for the RSN, teach teenagers and work on ecclesiastical pieces’.
