Needlepoint Night
July 15 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 PM
ROUGH POINT MUSEUM, Workshop
Featuring Lycette Designs.
Join Lycette Designs and Newport Restoration Foundation for a hands-on evening of stitching set against spectacular ocean views.
All levels welcome, no experience required. The custom canvas, thread, needle, snips, and canvas carrying bag are included, and we’ll provide light refreshments and guidance.
This Needlepoint Night’s custom canvas features the Whimsical Camel pattern, in honor of Rough Point’s resident Bactrian camels, Princess and Baby.
We’re delighted to partner with Lycette Designs on an evening celebrating handcraft. Rough Point is filled with examples of skilled needlepoint—from 17th-century stumpwork, to 19th-century samplers, to 20th-century embroidered clothing. Arrive early to visit the museum and special exhibitions ahead of the event.
Upcoming Needlepoint Nights:
Wednesday, August 12 (features the “My Decision is Maybe and That’s Final” custom pattern)
Tuesday, September 15 (features the Whimsical Camel custom pattern)
