Temari Balls (Sherry) Beginning - Saturday, April 12; 12 pm - 5 pm $45 Intermediate - Saturday, May 17; 12 pm - 5 pm $35 Advanced - Saturday; June 14; 12 pm - 5 pm $35 Temari is a Japanese Thread Winding technique which creates beautiful, ornamental balls. In the beginning class you'll learn to make your own balls from rice hulls, wrap them with thread to create a base ball and then the intricate winding pattern to create Holiday Temari ball (pictured above). The Intermediate and Advanced classes require you to have already created your wrapped base ball before coming to class. Each class will do a more complicated pattern of Temari ball so you can learn more intricate wrapping techniques. A supply list will be provided when registering for each of the classes.

Temari Time Second Sunday of each month 1:30 -3:30 pm $10/session Once a month you can come, work on your Temari ball and get Sherry's help with your project. Whether you want help starting a new ball, selecting colors or help with a ball you're working on, this workshop is a great way to find time to for some wrapping fun. If you are a beginner and want to learn how to start a ball from scratch you need to sign up for our Temari I class. Temari Time is for those who've already worked on at least one ball and are looking for help with current projects.

Embroidery Clinic - Mike Swan Saturday April 26; 11 am - 1pm or Saturday May 17; 11am -1pm $15 Do you have an embroidery project you've started and you need a bit of help with it? Mike will be available for 2 hours to answer your embroidery questions and get you stitching. Just bring your project along with you.

Education Is Important! It's our goal to provide continuing education for all levels of needleworkers. While we may not provide classes for every technique out there, we do try to have classes in our four basic areas (cross-stitch, counted-thread, embroidery and needlepoint) either as technique classes or as project classes. We have a monthly beginning clinic for cross-stitch and needlepoint that is good for those new to the technique wanting a short project or those wanting a quick refresher. If you are interested in a particular area, and it's not on our current class schedule just give us a call and let us know what type of class you're interested in. If we have enough students to schedule a class we'll get in touch and arrange a time. We continue to schedule specialty classes regularly so be sure to check out the current schedule for those classes. If you have suggestions for classes, please let us know. While we can't accommodate all requests, we can certainly consider them for future classes.

Private Lessons For both adults and children, we offer private instruction in several types of needlework. Topics generally include needlepoint, cross-stitch, embroidery, basic silk ribbon embroidery, hardanger, pulled-thread and crewel work. Call the shop to let us know what instruction you are seeking and if we can help, we'll arrange a time. The cost is $35 per hour (no supplies are provided, although you may certainly bring your own project or purchase supplies at the shop). If you want to set up a private lesson for more than one person the fee is $35/hour per person if you are working on different projects. For a group rate on a single project each additional person is $20/hour. You may schedule multiple hours, either in one session or across more than one session. If you wish, you may also schedule a regular class for a group (e.g. beginning needlepoint) contact the shop for more details.
