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.
Learn more about our classes for the 2023 Expo.
Classes range from 60-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 Three and Four Needle classes may require student supplies and a class kit, 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 are a traditional lecture/demo format — the perfect class for an introduction to a new concept, tips and tricks to make your creative life better, or brushing up on fundamentals.
- 45 minutes
Two Needle Classes
Two Needle Classes are focused on a project or specific, targeted technique, either as a lecture/demo or a simple, hands-on mini-project. Sewing machines/sergers are not available for Two Needle classes, but steps may be demonstrated using the instructor’s machine. Two Needle classes are offered twice during Expo, usually on Thursday/Saturday or Friday/Sunday. Applications for Two Needle classes must include a list of student supplies and kit materials, if applicable.

Three Needle Classes
Three Needle classes are a great opportunity to hone your skills and develop new ones. You may complete projects with handwork or machines, or even try a new skill like dying, felting, or weaving! Pre-registration required for classes with kits and encouraged for all Four Needle classes.
- 2.5 hours
Four Needle Classes
This is Expo boot camp! Four Needle classes are immersive learning experiences and are primarily held on Wednesday.
