Jean Krynicki, owner of River Silks Ltd, has been teaching needlepoint using silk ribbon for more than 20 years, including a trip to Russia to teach these beautiful techniques. Her daugter, Lynn Bayer, has been teaching ribbon stitching since 2011, mostly throughout areas in Virginia and Washington, DC. Education has always been a priority to the company mission at River Silks. This class is a great opportunity to hone your skills toward becoming a "fiber artist"!

$155

Includes:

  • a beautiful Gardenia kit by Rishfeld Designs , complete with stretcher bars, tacks, and needle
  • a 10-inch-square "Doodle Board" (blank canvas tacked onto stretcher bars) and silk ribbon swatches to practice your stitches

Sip & Stitch

Bring a project (or two, or three) and come stitch and network with other stitchy friends! We always have snacks and things to sip (hot or cold). Best of all, we share lots of laughs, stories, and stitching knowledge!

Needlepoint Clinic w/Denise Forsyth

**NO CLINIC IN APRIL**

Monthly on the 4th Saturday

10 am – 12 pm

  • Stuck on a stitch?
  • Want to learn an entirely new stitch?
  • Need inspiration on a new canvas (or one that’s been in “timeout” much too long)?

Bring your project to this no-cost, open-house-style clinic to chat with an expert about your project. Stay and stitch during the clinic so that Denise can check in on your progress!

Denise has completed all Certificate and Diploma courses at the Royal School of Needlework in England. We love having her in the shop!
