Ann Beck’s Nightbirds embroidery design.

Costume designed by Ann Beck for figure skater Brian Boitano.

This week’s show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America and Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Our conversation this week is with the amazing embroidery artist, Ann Beck. Ann has been doing embroidery in one form or another for most of her life. She spent most of her career in the fashion world, primarily creating and making costumes for performers such as members of the San Francisco Ballet and ODC/Dance San Francisco. She also has designed costumes for Olympic and World Champion figure skaters, specifically Brian Boitano, Kristi Yamaguchi, Dorothy Hamill, and Tara Lipinski. These days she’s shifted away from that world to focus on embroidery design and teaching. Ann is most excited about teaching her new design, Nightbirds, in April 2025, at a four-day workshop in the medieval city of Provins, just south of Paris. The workshop, offered by the embroidery tourism company Creative Experiences, will also include a three-day stay and shopping excursion in Paris and Versailles. Ann’s work is outstanding and it was fun to learn of her journey and what lies ahead for her.–Beth and Gary
