Intro to Punch Needle Embroidery



Punch needle is a beautiful and meditational embroidery technique that has been around since the 1800s and is known to have originated in North America.
Maday has been leading punch needle workshops in person and online since 2019. The Oxford needle, invented by Amy Oxford, is Maday's favorite tool to use and teach with.
As a slow-making technique, punch needle is perfect for our modern life; it creates a connection to generations before us and a chance to innovate for ourselves. It is portable, colorful, and rewarding. The loops created by yarn are durable and surprising. Join us!

Instructor Bio:
Maday is a prolific art educator, published artist, and guild presenter based in the Midwest committed to bringing innovation and artistry to the forefront of the work she creates. Her mission is to nurture artistic platforms across cultures and generations to foster creative work while finding ways to minimize her environmental footprint.
Learning from cultural textile traditions and exchanging powerful stories, continues to be a source of inspiration that she hopes to share with all.
Her goal is to unify students with different skill sets and share her love of art and vibrant textiles. She combines painting, weaving, hand-stitching and machine sewing and embroidery to infuse her creations with energy and pay homage to her Cuban upbringing. She loves the art of collaging and storytelling with new and pre-loved textiles; Janome machines keep up with her big, scrappy ideas every step of the way.
Maday?s work has appeared in the international publication Uppercase magazine (2022, 2020) the book Quilted (2019), and periodicals in her home state. She also presented virtually to the design students at the Indian Institute of Art & Design in New Delhi, India in August 2020 and teaches at Folk Schools, Quilt Shops, and Quilt Shows.
