Classes are held Saturday through Tuesday, and may be 2 or 4 days in length.

A Rare Opportunity for 2013 Assembly AttendeesNAN attendees are invited to arrive day early to visit the home and studio of renowned needleartist, Shay Pendray. Her home, in nearby Bloomfield Hills, is one of the few residences in the United States where the entire decor is lavishly appointed with embroidery, particularly Japanese embroidery, and other Asian needleart. Many of Shay's finest works are on display. You will see Shay's peaceful Japanese courtyard, and her fine 12 panel screen of double sided embroidery, plus her delightful studio. And, as a counterpoint, Shay's home also includes a cowboy room. Our tour will depart the Somerset Inn at 9:30 AM on Friday, March 1. It includes lunch at a local restaurant. Space is limited.
