Tony Minieri

BACK TO BASICS – LEVEL 3

May 16th – 19th, 2023

The third installation in the series of classes that comprise Back to Basics The Right Way: Bad Habits Broken Here steps it up a notch. Here the goal is to take all of the techniques and tools reviewed in the first two classes and incorporate them into more difficult stitching. Added embellishment to the canvas through needle lace, cut and drawn work, more blackwork, and the different methods of combining them all will be practiced. Textures, directional stitching, combination of threads, choosing the number of threads based on weight of the stitch, stitches from Brazilian tapestry work, overlapping stitches and more will be covered in this class.

As always, the student will work each stitch as Tony describes best practices, works with each student, tells stories and encourages fun through needle work.

Registration for Back to Basics Level III requires completion of Back to Basics I and II.

Space is available.  Please call the shop at 513-561-7999 to sign up.

Canvas Embellishment

October 4-6, 2023

For a three-day embellishment class with Tony Minieri, the student will select a painted needlepoint canvas to stitch. Tony evaluates this canvas, selects threads for enhancement  and develops a custom stitch guide for the student which is based on the student’s proficiency, personal goals and ability. In the class, Tony works directly with the student to insure his/her understanding of the stitch guide, the learning of new techniques and thread uses and helps with visualization of the end creation.

Canvases are selected in advance of the actual class in order to provide an ample amount of time for Tony’s interpretation and production of the stitch guide. Canvases not purchased from Absolutely Needlepoint will be subject to a $75 charge.

Proficiency Level:  All

Space is available.  Please call the shop at 513-561-7999 to sign up.
