Level I – $800
In this class you will learn to set up your own frame, use both the needle and tambour hook to apply threads, beads and sequins, and the process for finishing the project. Techniques covered include:
- basic tambour and needle work (embroidery and beading)
- tight vermicelli
- padded stitching

Even if you do not complete the project in class, you will have all the information you need to finish on your own. It does not take any previous skill; we start everyone from the beginning. All supplies are included in the beginning project cost, including the beginning tabletop frame (13” -22”).

Level II
Step up your skills! This is an intermediate level class for those who have passed Level I. In this class, you will expand your experience with the tambour hook, and learn new techniques. Registrants must have level 1 experience. At this time, we have not worked out the project. As we finalize the design and techniques, we will post the information! If you are interested, please contact us to receive more information.
Short Courses
These are 2-4 hour classes held periodically throughout the year. The subject and content for each class changes on a regular basis. Most of these courses are for those who have completed level I. However, there are a few that are open to beginners, and will be marked as such. The classes take place in San Antonio. We only recommend these classes for locals, as the travel is not necessarily worth the cost for such a short class.
The short courses are priced according to the length of the class and the supplies needed. The price will be posted with the individual class listing. Contact us directly to register for a short course. It is not listed on the registration page due to the costing variables.
