Instructor Bio
Jana Purington is an artist and seamstress from Kailua, Hawaii. She first learned embroidery from her grandmother and later took classes at the Royal School of Needlework in London. Hand-sewing techniques were a primary part of her undergraduate portfolio and her work in the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts’ MFA program.
Jana has a small business making clothes out of recycled fabrics and combines her leftover materials with embroidery to create Hawaii-inspired pieces.
