…and more!

TOP RATED
Nora Renick Rinehart is a textile artist extraordinaire. Since getting her degree in fibers from the Maryland Institute College of Art, she's spent pretty much all of her time developing skills and learning how to pass them along. In the past six years she's sewn handbags, done freelance commissions, stitched costumes for musical theater, and screen printed a seriously ludicrous amount of t-shirts and tea towels. She is currently teaching all kinds of textiles classes at Lillstreet Art Center and putting together a selection of classes for Dabble that are fun & relaxed- from which students can leave with new skills and confidence!

I had a great time sipping teas and hanging out with the ladies in my class and, of course, Nora. The back yard was lovely and the atmosphere was super chill. I was able to perfect some of my stitches and finally get a good hang of that french knot! Looking forward to seeing what else Nora dabbles in!
