Workshops are usually held on weekends and are taught by nationally known needlework teachers. The workshop may be a pilot class in which the teacher is testing a design for the first time, or it may be a class in which an established design is taught. Needle artists from all over the country attend our workshops.

Workshops are open to members of the San Bernardino and Sunkissed (San Dimas) Chapters of ANG as well as to members of the Baldy View and Inland Empire Chapters of the Embroiderers' Guild of America. Other EGA and ANG members are accepted when there is room. For further workshop information and registration, please contact the Workshop Chairman.

MEMBERS of the SBANG chapter may see pictures and descriptions of the workshop projects by joining our Yahoo group and accessing the Workshop albums in the Photos section.

NOTE: The term "Ghosts," as used in the workshop notes below, means members who pay class fees in order to receive instructional materials but who are unable to attend the workshop in person. Please click here for further information about ghosting procedures and fees.

Classes will be held in Ontario at US Bank, 333 N. Euclid Avenue, unless otherwise noted.
