If
classes interest you, we offer a wide range from Beginning Stitching
to Enhancement Workshops. When you expand your stitching knowledge,
a whole new world of creativity awaits you.
Here's
an idea of what each class covers:
Beginning
Stitching
If
you've been wanting to start but don't know where or how to begin,
this is the ideal class for you. In this one-session two-hour class,
you will learn the basketweave stitch, which is the most basic needlepoint
stitch. Class fee includes a painted canvas, threads, project sheets
and professional instructions. We've even added a class directed to
adolescents to encourage this art for the younger set.
Enhancement
Workshop
Looking to spice up your project, then this is just what you need.
Here is an opportunity to bring in your own project to this single-session
two-hour class and learn some exciting stitches, suggested by our
experts, to enhance your work by moving on from the tried and true
basketweave and exploring the beauty you can create with artistic
stitches and fibers.
Stitches
and Threads Notebook Classes
This class runs for 5 sessions of two hours each and offers the opportunity
to learn a variety of stitches as well as the types and uses of a
multitude of fibers. As the class progresses, you will build a notebook
of canvas swatches with the stitches you have learned and the threads
you have used - this makes for a wonderful resource as you continue
your stitching adventures! This class is the perfect follow-up to
the Beginning Stitching class.
Special
Project Classes
We
will select a canvas that offers opportunities to explore new stitches
and apply the artistic touches available from our many fibers. Take
advantage of these classes to create a treasure while under the experienced
guidance of one of our needlepoint aficionados. Class fees include
a painted canvas, threads, custom stitch guide, project sheets and
professional instruction.
Depending
on the size and complexity of the project, these classes generally
run from four to six hours of instruction.
