AUGUST
Have you ever wanted to learn the basic stitches for Crochet or Knitting? Try one of these upcoming classes, $45 each. New classes offered each month.
​
Local artist Leslie Friedman teaches 2-hour classes for up to 4 students on several topics. She recommends picking either crochet or knitting and sticking with that one technique until you’ve mastered it, as it does take practice. Once you’ve mastered the chain and single crochet techniques, you are invited to sign up for the next level Crochet Dishcloth or Granny Square class. You will be provided with either a crochet hook or knitting needles and a small skein of yarn for you to take home.

Calling all art teachers!
Do you have a great idea for a class that you can teach? We're looking for experienced instructors who would like to teach a 1-4 session class in our gallery classroom. We’re looking for classes that are simple to set up, don’t require any specialized equipment (like blow torches, electric drills) or create any unpleasant smells requiring an exhaust hood. We keep classes small (8 or fewer), and for ages 14 and up. For more details about topics, class structure and timing, read the PDF linked below.
