Hand Embroidery

Friday, May 23, 1–5

Come learn some basic embroidery stitches and ideas for their use, and take home an instructional handout. We will start by practicing the basics: fabric and thread, embroidery hoops and stitching evenly. We will look at examples of accents, art pieces, and functional stitching made decorative via embroidery. Bring something you would like to embroider and we’ll brainstorm the possibilities.

Crochet

Wednesday, May 28 and June 3, 6:30–8:30 pm

In this two-part class, learn the fundamentals of crochet: how to manage the yarn and hook, make key stitches, change yarn, and finish off your work. You’ll learn about yarn tension, gauge, and pattern reading, how to count stitches and identify their parts, and how to increase and decrease the number of stitches in a row. Small projects along the way will solidify each skill before the next is added, and you’ll take home additional patterns to practice between and after the classes.

Crochet 1 is required for participation in Crochet 2. Please bring your own crochet hooks: a J or K is ideal for the first class (6 or 6.5 mm), and an F or G for the second (3.75 or 4.25 mm).

Members $30   Adults $35   Children $15
