i teach machine and hand-sewing (specializing in garment sewing) and pattern drafting, as well as crochet, embroidery, mending, block printing, and other textile arts, all over the USA, in-person, virtually and on video. i teach at my own studio in Accord, NY as well as other locations in the Hudson Valley/Catskills area of New York (about 2 hours north of NYC), which is where i live. you can find all of my classes below. please contact the venue for registration and payment. all classes require a minimum of 4 (or more) students, so please register early to avoid cancellation.

i also travel to teach at retreats, conferences and shops around the US, so i may be coming to a location near you! this page is always a work in progress, and gets updated frequently throughout the year, so please check back often, and subscribe to my newsletter to stay updated. i hope to see you in class!

private workshops at my studio can also be arranged if you are local or accessible to Accord, NY. contact me for details.

if you can’t find me in person, i also teach most of my topics as online video classes with Creativebug. this means they are available 24/7 from the comfort of your own home or studio, and you can watch, pause and rewind them as many times as needed. you can see what i offer, and watch a video about me, on my teacher page. these also make great warm-up or intro material leading up to an in-person class with me, or reference material if you’ve taken a class with me and need to review!
