After a series of successful classes with The Sunshinery last year, I believe I’ve come up with a good formula for the workshops, something that works for most people, whether you are beginner or not, and that is fun. Throughout the class, you'll receive step-by-step guidance, mastering all the stitches and knots necessary to embroider the final product offered at the end of the session. I designed each tutorial to empower you to embroider independently and enjoy the process. I strongly believe in making learning fun, and to add a touch of conviviality, there will be a bottle or two of wine on the table.
The rates for group workshops begin at $149 per person, covering all expenses, including drinks and homemade appetizers. Dates will be announced on Instagram and you’ll just need to secure your seat in advance.
For private workshops, the fee is $125 per person, with a minimum of two participants and a maximum of ten. The price covers all necessary supplies and offers a personalised approach tailored to your preferences. You also enjoy the flexibility to choose the date and time that suits you. The venue adds an extra layer of excitement, as these sessions will take place in a charming brownstone on the Upper West Side.
Please note that all deposits are non-refundable. I find that to be necessary as supplies, drinks, and goods are arranged well in advance for the event. However, if something unexpected prevents you from attending the workshop you booked (I understand life happens) I would be happy to find another date that works for you.
Some workshops have additional cost, often due to the customization of the class to meet your preferences. Venues might change and incur extra charges, depending on the specific workshop. The three-day workshops are also longer and therefore more costly.
This embroidery workshop has become the hottest ticket of the year, selling out in a flash every time! Set in a gorgeous townhouse on the Upper West Side, it's more than just a class – it’s a night of creativity, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re meeting new friends or hanging with your besties, you’ll be stitching up something beautiful while enjoying live tunes from a local artist, paired with tasty bites and drinks.
Being French and having always loved entertaining, it felt natural for me to combine the joy of embroidery with the pleasure of bringing people together.
Is there anything special you need to bring? Just your brightest smile – we’ll take care of the rest! No experience is needed; I’ll guide you step by step, so even if you’ve never embroidered before, you’ll leave with a gorgeous creation by the end of the evening. Come for the fun, leave with new skills and great memories!

Over the years of residing on the Upper West Side, I have been fortunate enough to meet incredible people. When my neighbors Rayda and Erin told me about the launch of the Arts for Peace program at their Cultural Connections Townhouse, it became an evidence to me that this would be the ideal venue to host my private embroidery workshops.
Private workshops require a minimum of two participants and a maximum of ten. The price covers all necessary supplies and offers a personalised approach tailored to your preferences. You also enjoy the flexibility to choose the date and time that suits you. Ideal for team-building, bachelorette party, baby shower, birthday and friends gathering.
