This is a 2 part class for intermediate to advanced level stitchers!

About your instructor:
Pippa Fraumeni is a self-taught abstract artist in Houston, Texas. She was inspired to start painting after moving into her own home and remembering the whimsical pieces her father painted for their rambling Victorian house in Brooklyn, NY while she was growing up.
Prior to moving to Houston, Pippa had a 10-year career in fashion working at iconic magazines Seventeen and Cosmopolitan and with household name brands J.Crew and Madewell.
Introduced to needlepoint 3 years ago, Pippa quickly became obsessed and began stitching every canvas she could get her hands on until she had the bright idea to start designing her own canvases.
When not painting you can find Pippa with her husband and three children, preferably at the beach, reading, scouring estate sales for antiques and of course-needlepointing.
