    Are you curious about machine knitting? Do you want to purchase a machine, but can't make heads or tails of the different gauges, brands, or other features to consider? Have you already bought or inherited a machine, but have become too overwhelmed to learn how to actually use it? Or do you love hand knitting, but hate knitting rows upon rows of stockinette stitch and are looking for an alternative? Regardless of whatever led you here, this class can help! Together, we will learn about domestic flatbed knitting machines, what they can and can't do, what to consider when purchasing one, the basics of using one, and how to make a tension swatch for knitting an accessory or garment - plus oodles of other crucial details. You will also receive access to several different knitting machines and plenty of time to gain hands-on experience - so by the end, you'll know if the path of machine knitting is right for you!

    Fencing is a combat sport that combines offense and defense simultaneously. Sometimes called "physical chess," it is as much a battle of wits as one of athleticism - you must possess not just the speed to strike or withdraw from your opponent, but the cunning to surprise or trick your way past their guard. In this class, we will practice footwork (where we practice moving in space like a fencer), bladework (where we practice controlling our blade), and fencing (where we combine both elements and face an opponent). Together, we will hone our athleticism and tactical problem-solving, learn from losing, and discover how to uplift those around us.

    For ages 8-12.

    All students must sign a Waiver & Release of Liability form before the start of class in order to attend. Upon enrollment, a link to the form will be included in the order confirmation email.

    While "pastel" as an adjective means "pale in color", pastels as a medium are anything but faded. Through pairing powdered pigment with a binder, the colors in a finished work of pastels more closely match that of the natural dried pigments than any other medium! In this class, we will explore the long and storied history of pastels; familiarize ourselves with the pigments, surfaces, and tools used to create pastel artwork; and experiment with creating such art ourselves. Whether you're a novice or an accomplished artist, all are welcome to join in for a meaningful taste of the pastel medium.
