Finishing the Canvaswork piece and Reflection
My canvas work piece for the RSN Certificate has been completed, and now handed in! See how it looks once mounted, and here about my reflections looking back at the technique and the piece.
RSN Certificate in Technical Hand Embroidery
The RSN Certificate in Hand Technical Hand Embroidery is a well respected and exceptional course offered for anyone with an interest in hand embroidery. There are four modules you are required to complete to a high standard – Jacobean Crewelwork, Canvaswork or Blackwork, Silk Shading, and Goldwork. As part of the module, you need to design, choose colours, stitches and threads, stitch, and then finally mount your piece to the high standard required of everyone at the RSN.
I am undertaking this course to improve my overall stitching, and to learn about designing my own pieces. It is a challenge, but an enjoyable one!

Canvaswork Update – and so close to being finished!
I’m almost finished the second module of the RSN Certificate! I’m having some troubles getting the detail required onto the castle, but learn how my tutors have taught me to solve the problem!
Canvaswork Update – Filling in the Gaps, a Castle, and a Little bit of Sky!
My RSN canvaswork piece is developing nicely – the little bits are being filled in and I’m using a wider variety of types of thread!
Cavaswork Update – Texture, Colour and Dimension
Canvaswork is so much more than stitching a tapestry. Consideration of texture, colour and more needs to be thought and planned!
