Ik vond het heerlijk om iets moois met mijn handen te maken en raakte al snel gewend aan het rustige ritme van naald en draad. Tijdens mijn studietijd heb ik het een tijd laten liggen, maar toen ik begon met werken pakte ik het borduren weer op. Dit keer waardeerde ik het niet alleen als handwerk, maar ook als een manier om te ontspannen en tot rust te komen. Toen ik mijn hobby verder wilde ontwikkelen, ontdekte ik het RSN Certificate \u2013 een gestructureerd programma in traditioneel handborduurwerk dat me voorbij de kruissteek bracht en een hele nieuwe wereld opende.<br>\nLange tijd wist ik niet dat er meer bestond dan kruissteek. Dat veranderde toen ik bij toeval de blog van  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.needlenthread.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Mary Corbet\u2019s Needle \u2019n Thread<\/a> ontdekte. Een hele wereld van nieuwe technieken en borduurstijlen ging voor me open. Ik deed mee met een aantal van haar stitch-alongs, waarmee ik nieuwe steken leerde, maar al snel voelde ik dat ik behoefte had aan meer structuur. Ik wilde de technieken echt begrijpen, leren hoe ik mijn eigen ontwerpen kon maken en bewuste keuzes kon maken over stoffen en garens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">De ontdekking van de Royal School of Needlework<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Een online zoektocht gaf me uiteindelijk twee opties in de buurt (ik woon in Nederland): een school in Frankrijk en de  <a href=\"https:\/\/royal-needlework.org.uk\/\" title=\"\" target=\"_self\">Royal School of Needlework (RSN)<\/a> in Engeland. De Franse school (\u00c9cole de Broderie d\u2019Art) richtte zich vooral op haute couture borduurwerk, wat niet helemaal paste bij wat ik zocht \u2013 en mijn Frans is niet geweldig. De RSN daarentegen legde de nadruk op traditionele technieken, creatieve ontwerpen en technische vaardigheden. Mijn Engels is veel beter, en hun programma leek precies bij me te passen.\nHet RSN Certificate beloofde een zorgvuldig opgebouwde reis langs verschillende borduurstijlen, met zowel technische beheersing als creatieve vrijheid. Precies wat ik zocht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wat is de RSN?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">De Royal School of Needlework, gevestigd in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrp.org.uk\/hampton-court-palace\/\" title=\"\" target=\"_self\">Hampton Court Palace<\/a>, heeft een lange en prestigieuze geschiedenis. Wereldwijd staat de RSN bekend om het behoud en de overdracht van zowel traditionele als moderne borduurtechnieken. Studeren daar is een plezier: de docenten zijn enorm ervaren en betrokken, en elke les zit vol met medeborduurliefhebbers die inspirerende projecten onder handen hebben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_153425-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_153425-1024x768.jpg?v=1756577470 1024w, https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_153425-300x225.jpg?v=1756577470 300w, https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_153425-768x576.jpg?v=1756577470 768w, https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_153425-1536x1152.jpg?v=1756577470 1536w, https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_153425-2048x1536.jpg?v=1756577470 2048w, https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_153425-16x12.jpg?v=1756577470 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Over het RSN Certificate<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Het RSN Certificate in Technical Hand Embroidery bestaat uit vier kernmodules:<br>Jacobean Crewelwork<br>Blackwork (of Canvaswork)<br>Goldwork<br>Silk Shading<br>Elke module heeft een eigen opdracht, technische focus en beoordelingscriteria. Het programma is opgezet om over meerdere jaren te spreiden, zodat studenten de tijd hebben om ontwerpen te plannen, hun borduurwerk te verfijnen en onder begeleiding van de docenten te groeien.<br>\nWat ik er vooral aan waardeer, is dat het Certificate niet gaat over het namaken van een vast ontwerp. Studenten worden juist aangemoedigd om hun eigen motieven te ontwikkelen, kritisch na te denken over steekkeuze en hun werk stap voor stap te evalueren. Die balans tussen structuur en vrijheid past perfect bij mijn manier van leren.<br>What I particularly love is that the Certificate isn\u2019t about reproducing a fixed design. Instead, students are encouraged to develop their own motifs, make thoughtful stitch choices, and reflect on their progress at every stage. It\u2019s a balance between structure and freedom that suits me perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_143302-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_143302-768x1024.jpg?v=1756577469 768w, https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_143302-225x300.jpg?v=1756577469 225w, https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_143302-1152x1536.jpg?v=1756577469 1152w, https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_143302-1536x2048.jpg?v=1756577469 1536w, https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_143302-9x12.jpg?v=1756577469 9w, https:\/\/renatespeet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20181017_143302-scaled.jpg?v=1756577469 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mijn eigen tempo<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Een ander groot voordeel is de flexibiliteit. Ik heb een veeleisende baan en kan me daardoor niet wekelijks of tweewekelijks vastleggen. Ook de reistijd (en kosten!) spelen mee. Het RSN-systeem werkt daarom heel goed voor mij: de lessen worden elke dag gegeven (ja, zeven dagen per week), waardoor ik zelf kan plannen. Sinds Covid worden er ook online lessen aangeboden. <br>\nMeestal wissel ik online lessen (eens per maand of twee maanden, afhankelijk van mijn werktijd en hoeveel huiswerk ik kan doen) af met weekenden in Hampton Court. Gewoonlijk vlieg ik op donderdagavond, volg ik lessen op vrijdag en zaterdag, en vlieg ik zaterdagavond weer terug. Zo ga ik ongeveer twee \u00e0 drie keer per jaar naar Hampton Court.<br>\nIn theorie kan elke module in minimaal acht lessen worden afgerond. Dat lukte me bij mijn Jacobean-stuk, maar bij de andere modules neem ik liever meer tijd. Ik wil de techniek goed begrijpen en mijn projecten op een manier afronden waar ik trots op ben, ook al kost dat extra lessen. Uiteindelijk is borduren mijn hobby \u2013 ik geniet net zoveel van het proces als van het eindresultaat, en ik voel geen druk om te haasten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vooruitblik<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In de volgende posts neem ik je mee door elk RSN Certificate-module \u2014 van Jacobean Crewelwork tot Silk Shading \u2014 en deel ik mijn experimentele steken, ontwerpkeuzes en lessen die ik onderweg heb geleerd.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I started embroidering as a child, I began with simple cross-stitch kits.
