Punch Needle Pet Portrait Workshop

Create a portrait of your favorite furry friend with this punch needle workshop in Seattle!



3 hours Location Pioneer Square Class size 1 to 25 (public classes), 6 to 30   $70 - $90 ($70 for Student Will Bring Oxford Punch Needle; $90 for Includes Oxford Punch Needle. $100 per class surcharge applies for private classes)

Learn the art of punch needle in a guided, hands-on workshop where you’ll create a textured yarn portrait of your pet! Each class includes a custom canvas and a punch needle tool you can take home, so the creativity doesn’t stop when the workshop ends.
Provide a photo of your pet, and we’ll simplify the image and transfer the design onto fabric for you. With the outline ready, you can focus on building texture, depth, and personality as you fill in the design using your newly learned punch needle techniques.
All supplies are included, and by the end of the workshop, your finished pet portrait will be well on the way to being completed and ready to hang—an adorable, one-of-a-kind piece of your favorite furry friend! If you don't finish your piece in the workshop, you will be able to bring home yarn and your punch needle tool to finish on your own time.

  • 5/5 from Sara Mottaz, attended Apr 2026: I liked the whole concept of making my own pet’s portrait.

I enjoyed!
