This class is a fun "Date Night" for you and a child to paint together. No experience is needed; this class is about spending quality time together and having fun. Each person is provided a 16 x 20 canvas, acrylic paints, and all the supplies needed to create their own masterpiece that can stand alone or be hung side-by-side for a combined work of art. The instructor will lead you step-by-step through the painting. Adult plus child 5+.

Whether you are an absolute beginner or someone who once learned to crochet and have forgotten how, this class is for you! We start at the beginning, looking at tools and yarn. You will learn chain stitch, slip stitch, single, half double and double crochet, increasing and decreasing and how to read patterns and diagrams. You will make a dishcloth, scarf, granny squares and a small stuffed animal. Required supply list: (Note: Occasionally classes are canceled due to low enrollment. Please wait to purchase supplies until 5 business days prior to the start of this class to ensure the class will be held.) Crochet hook, size H/8 (5mm) Scissors Stitch markers (not the ring-type, the type that clip closes like safety pins) A bag to carry your project material in (a shopping bag is fine) At least 2 ounces of worsted weight crochet cotton yarn (such as Sugar 'n Cream). This type of yarn has this symbol on the paper band that goes around it: You will need to purchase a couple of additional skeins of yarn and additional hooks in other sizes for projects as the class progresses, but it will be discussed in class. Stores frequently sell kits with a range of crochet hook sizes which may save you a bit on the cost of the individual hooks. If you find a kit that covers the size range from H through K, it would be a good investment.

Students will choose a pattern and provide paper or prepared woodenware on which to work. The instructor will give critiques and ideas to improve stroke work, color and design. Bring painting supplies. Patterns will be available. Students should have enough skill to work independently. Required supply list: (Note: Occasionally classes are cancelled due to low enrollment. Please wait to purchase supplies until 5 business days prior to the start of this class to ensure the class will be held.) The supply list for the Rosemaling Workshop can be found here.
