Learn the historical art of fine whitework in this informative, instructional guide from the Royal School of Needlework and master skills of Jenny Adin-Christie.

RSN: Fine Whitework provides a historical background to fine whitework and explores the key stitch techniques involved in this intricate style of hand embroidery.

Discover how to master five key areas of whitework technique: sculptured, translucent, filigree, fretted, and voided. Then apply these to two detailed and stunning pieces - a delicate button with a scabiosa motif, and an elaborate embroidery honouring the 150th anniversary of the RSN.

Clear step-by-step instructions and stitch diagrams aid the reader in their own whitework embroideries. There is plenty of inspiration by way of Jenny Adin-Christie's own elegant works and those of other RSN students and tutors.
