Susan Portra - Three Day Workshop & Private Lessons

Susan Portra is Returning - Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Limited Private Lessons 4/26 - 4/27 (2 hours for $300)

Three Day Workshop 4/23 - 4/25 ($650)

Susan's class is all about taking a single dimension canvas, recognizing the focal point and working towards enhancing the "art level" of needlepoint. This is done by determining the focal, middle ground and background with texture, depth, movement and light play. Also created by using specific threads, stitches and multiple techniques to elevate your needlecraft into needle art.

We have found that over the years of having Susan come and impart her creativity, holding a two day workshop is just not enough time. So this year we are conducting a three day workshop for $650, and includes lunch. Susan will help each student with thread choices, embellishment ideas and a provide a written map to your project, with diagrams. You must sign up for all three days but believe us when we tell you not only will the three days fly by, leaving you wanting more, but you will leave the shop with new tips and ideas for your needlepointing!

We still have a few openings, so don't hesitate or you'll miss out on all the fun! Give the shop a call to schedule at (407) 894-0444

Requirements: Bring a canvas from your stash (or you can buy one from the shop.) Make sure you get a full-sized color copy of the canvas you are bringing. Please mount your canvas in the well.
