What do you want to learn?
Expo has a class for everyone! Fine-tune your garment construction, learn about dying fibers, create the perfect luxe baby blanket—and more.
Classes range from 45 minute lecture/demos to four hour, intensive learning experiences. Your class time will vary based on the class type and your teacher, but you can plan to walk away with a new skill or a new idea, no matter what level you choose!
Hands-on classes may require student supplies and a class kit (not included in the class fee), and some may even need homework! Kit fees are paid directly to your teacher.

Expo offers four levels of learning experiences:
One Needle Classes 
One Needle classes (45 minutes) are a great introduction to a new concept. Get some great tips and tricks to make your creative life easier, brush up on fundamentals, or discover a technique you want to explore further. Most classes are a traditional lecture/demo format, however some feature quick, fun hands-on projects—no machine needed.
- One Needle classes are $17. Hands-on classes are $22.
Two Needle Classes
Two Needle Classes (90 minutes) are focused on a simple project or targeted technique—either as a lecture/demo class or a simple hands-on mini-project. While most project classes feature hand-crafting techniques, such as introductions to knitting, crochet and hand embroidery techniques, we have two new classrooms featuring beginner sewing machines for quick-sew projects.
- Two Needle classes are $32. Hands-on classes are $45.
Three Needle Classes
Three Needle classes (2.5 hours) are a great opportunity to hone your skills in an intermediate or advanced class, and develop a new skill with more time to practice in beginner-oriented classes. Expect to complete a project using handwork, sewing machines or sergers—or even try a new skill like dying, felting, or weaving!
- Three Needle classes are $62.
Four Needle Classes
This is Expo boot camp! Four Needle classes (4 hours) are immersive learning experiences and are primarily held on Wednesday before the start of Expo and will not require an admission ticket (select classes offered Sunday). They present an ideal opportunity to focus in-depth on techniques and ignite inspiration with more complex projects.
- Four Needle classes are $92.
Free Stage
