Needlepoint Classes

The art of needlepoint is as varied as the individual stitching the canvas. There is so much from which to choose: hundreds of canvases, threads, embellishments and finishing choices - it can be overwhelming!! A needlepoint teacher is your guide to learning the techniques that will turn thread and canvas into art.

At A ThreadGarden we currently offer varied formats for your needlepoint education - Group Classes, Project Workshops, or Private Lessons.

Click on the teacher’s name below  for additional details, photos, schedules and class fees.

Canvases brought to class must be purchased at A ThreadGarden. Students are limited to two canvases per class session, and then, only as time allows.
