A Loving Note to All:
The San Francisco School of Needlework and Design Board of Directors has voted unanimously to pass a resolution to dissolve the SFSNAD non-profit by June 2024. SNAD will cease to operate after the final class in April 2024.

The Board of Directors would like to thank you for your support over the years. We are grateful to have had an impact on so many stitchers - hobbyists, enthusiasts, artists and professionals alike. The dissolution committee is comprised of Christine Tanabe, Board Chair, Jennie Martel, Board Vice Chair, and Todd Hellman, Board Treasurer.

SFSNAD is a non-profit organization dedicated to the education and preservation of hand embroidery and needlework objects.
