Jessica was right and I was wrong - RSN run classes in San Francisco not New York. They just advertised a new weekend workshop class in San Francisco in September.
Regards, Allison"

As each…"

Allison Bradbury commented on Violette Severin's group Goldwork Group"I agree, soft plastic can increase tarnish, hence my wrapping my threads in acid free tissue before placing in the plastic pocket to prevent / reduce this.
I keep a couple of small silica sachets in my goldwork stash cd storage box."

Hello Alison, welcome to Stitin Fingers. I too want to learn both needle tatting and needle lace. I am chiefly an embroiderer and am experimenting with quilting and crazy quilting, which is great fun with all the embroidery. I used to teach a basic class in South Africa before I moved to England, I'm in Surrey. I really admire that you're going to the Royal School of Needlework, I would love to but am not too healthy. I do a lot of Jacobean work and am very interested in all types of Whitework. Good luck to you and enjoy your course, perhaps you can pass on some tips as you learn them. Kind Regards Mandy
