Gratitude Cards and Printmaking with the MFA – Join us this October to explore the joys of
printmaking and card making! Inspired by the enchanting still life paintings of
Dutch artist Rachel
Ruysch, we’ll create our own beautiful greeting cards. We’ll learn
about the art of printmaking and how to carve our own designs into linoleum
blocks. This is the perfect opportunity to create delightful cards to share
with friends and family!
Wednesday, Oct. 15, 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET
Loom Knitting: Make Your Own Hat– Discover the relaxing rhythm of loom knitting,
perfect for beginners and seasoned knitters alike! In this workshop we will
learn the basics and find inspiration for continued creating- from tying a
slipknot to enjoying the journey of creating a handmade cozy hat. In our
supportive online community, you'll experience the mindful relaxation that
comes with loom knitting and learn a skill that can accompany you through the
changing seasons. Fashionable and functional, finished pieces are ideal for
gifting or keeping for yourself! All skill levels are welcome!
A note about materials: We will include an egg-shaped grip for comfort while using the
loom hook. To create a larger adaptive grip, poke holes in the top and bottom
of a tennis ball, then thread the loom hook handle through the ball.
*Please bring your own
scissors to the workshop, or let us know if you need scissors sent to you.
