Hello! Both techniques are being worked in "embroidery land" & have been offered at EGA national seminar within the past 8 years. I checked www.egausa.org & did not see either currently offered in the education catalogue or at seminar, but the lineup is always changing so keep checking their site. One of my roommates took both classes & as an amateur observer, I would say that the reticella was more curvy & free flowing because the foundation fabric was stitched 1st, then voids cut away. I have several kits with finely woven linen in my stash & the motifs include half moons, hearts & paisley shapes that I don't recall seeing in punto in aria. EGA (non-profit) offers all kinds of classes & networking opportunities at the local, regional & national level plus correspondence programs. There is also a member-at-large category if there isn't a chapter nearby or the chapter is not convenient/compatible. Hope this helps. Susan, Erie, PA
