Organised by the Embroiderers' Guild, the workshops take place in the Clore Learning Centre at Hampton Court Palace, and the programme includes visits to the Embroiderers' Guild and the Treasures exhibition, as well as entry for all participants to Hampton Court Palace and gardens during the course.
The cost of the summer school is £200.
