Learn Embroidery & Sewing Skills
In Philadelphia, virtual, or select offerings in NYC and other cities.
1-on-1 lessons
Interested in personalized support?
Whether you are an artist, a part time hobbyist, designer or something else private lessons are customized to best support you. Working 1-on-1 is perfect for those those who don’t thrive in group classes, who have a specific project in mind that they need support with, and those who want to set their own learning pace and goals.
1-on-1 lessons are held at my studio in NW Philadelphia, PA or virtually.
We’ll start with an intro call to get clear on what your goals and projects are and how I can support you. I will develop personalized lessons just for you. Each lesson is 1 hour. And we can meet as many times as needed.
