Screen Print Skeletons!
This hands on class is a great introduction to screenprinting. We made a screen from scratch with affordable materials. We could design our own image in a variety of ways, most of them also accessible. And I even exposed my screen using the sun!

Stitch Retreat
Lucy is an excellent instructor. I've taken classes with her and studio time. If you are looking for a mentor to increase your embroidery technique and fan the flames of your inner artist, she will do it. I don't consider myself an artist, but she was able to guide me through two original designs from concept to final piece. It was a lovely experience. -
Stitch Retreat
What a great find! I traveled from Seattle to take two all-day classes here and wasn't disappointed. The school is easy to find on Union Square. The space is clean, well-lit and features lots of needlework examples beautifully displayed. There's a HUGE library for research, and the school sells a lot of quality threads and yarns that aren't available at craft stores. The teaching was top-notch, the classes well designed, easy to follow and I came away with some great new skills and techniques. They offer classes from beginner through advanced, and I'd definitely return for several more classes that caught my interest. Check out their website for schedules, activities and more information. -

There was a great deal of value in this class - I learned to build a beautiful bound journal (on steroids) from scratch. There were lots of extras to add to your book crafting bag of tricks. Amazing teacher - full of knowledge and patience. It is a lot to learn but so worth it! -
Stitch-In
This drop-in course allowed visitors to work on any existing project, tour the museum, buy supplies, browse the non-circulating library, ask for advice from the staff, and check out other people's projects. I loved the beautiful, quiet space. People admired my project and I picked up some extra floss. I'll definitely be back! -
