An Unbroken Thread

Celebrating 150 Years of the Royal School of Needlework

Susan Kay-Williams

Description

Published to coincide with the Royal School of Needlework's 150th anniversary, this book tells the story of the RSN from its founding in 1872 to the current day.

This richly illustrated book highlights key people, royal and other special commissions, the changing fortunes of the school as fashions changed and the approach to teaching hand embroidery. A well as bringing attention to the role and position of the RSN historically and today, it highlights the association with everyone from society ladies and theatre impresarios in the late 19th century to working with fashion designers Patrick Grant, Nicholas Oakwell and Alexander McQueen, and architects in the 21st century.
