Active NAN-Certified Teachers

Of the more than 124 teachers certified by NAN since its inception, those currently active are listed alphabetically by name below. Please note that their certification specialty does not limit them in any way to teaching only this technique; it is simply the specialty declared by each candidate. Most of our teachers have branched out and incorporated other techniques in their teaching.

We invite you to contact these teachers when you need a needlework teacher in your region. Please contact the Director of Teachers’ Certification with an inquiry or request for a teacher and she will forward the information to the individual. The National Embroidery Teachers Association is another resource for locating needlework teachers.
