Fiber Talk with Susan Kay-Williams and Kelley Aldridge

Coronation-Gold-Sarah-de-Rousset-Hall, Royal School of Needlework.

This week’s guests are Susan Kay-Williams, Chief Executive (l), and Kelley Aldridge (r), Future Tutors Course Leader at the Royal School of Needlework. We appreciate Sassy Jacks Stitchery for sponsoring the show. Our discussion focuses on the experiences the RSN has had adapting to pandemic restrictions, particularly how they have affected face-to-face instruction. While that’s interesting, the exciting part is that adapting to the restrictions is presenting many opportunities for needleworkers all over the world to participate in what will be a growing list of online-instruction courses from some of the best teachers in the world. If you’ve always wanted to learn from the experts at the Royal School, this is the time to subscribe to their newsletter and become familiar with their website because the opportunities will be plentiful. Note that technology was not our friend for this recording so there are some short segments in which the listening is a bit difficult. Overall, it’s a fascinating discussion that lays the groundwork for expanding your stitching experiences.–Gary
