Testimonials
I am so grateful for Punch Needle Academy. If I hadn’t taken this course, I probably would have stopped trying to punch needle and chalked it up to another niche hobby that had come and gone. This course gave me the foundation I needed to get started and feel confident in my ability to create original works that will stand the test of time. Because of this course, I stuck with the craft and it has become a meditative, therapeutic hobby.

Micah teaches proper techniques that remove the frustration and confusion that I found with amature youtube clips. As a teacher and mom who fights to find time to make art, I thought I wouldn't have time for the whole class, but every lesson is short, to the point, and you can easily review when needed.

I have dabbled in punch needling for a few years but had minimal success - until I did this course! I am on clutch number 4 and going strong. Best decision to do the course!!

Una profe super profesional y creativa, que te enseña técnicas muy claras para iniciarte en los básicos pero también para soñar con creaciones más complejas a medida que avanzas y te permites expresar tu creatividad. Me está gustando muchísimo
