Meet our instructor

On-site quilting and sewing instruction
It is our goal for all sewists – no matter their skill level or experience – to become more confident and try new techniques. Every class, workshop and retreat is led by a certified instructor and all class sizes are kept small so everyone gets feedback and attention.
With a specialized facility dedicated to quilting and sewing groups, Bow Bench Retreat is the perfect spot to learn and be inspired.
We’ll come to you
Nancy Strath, owner and instructor at Bow Bench Retreat, can travel to your guild, group or shop to teach right in your community. As an experienced and certified instructor, Nancy will customize the class so everyone feels welcome and leaves with new techniques and skills.
Nancy is available throughout the year. To see if she is available for your event or class, send us a message with the details of the event and proposed dates.
