Cherry Blossom Painting Workshop!


Hi crafty people,

I'm really excited to announce a new series of painting workshops!! This series of 2 classes will be taught by guest instructor, Dianne de Villiers. Dianne has been teaching in the New York/Connecticut area for the past 12 years and she loves to teach brand new painters. So, if you've been wanting to try painting, come give it a try... at a special fee of $10 (includes supplies & classes) what's to lose? No excuses, you can do this! I promise!
PRE-REGISTRY REQUIRED, only 8 spots available~
Please rsvp to craftsocialworkshop(at)gmail.com

Also, KNITTING will meet this Tuesday, May 3 at 7:30 pm. Come learn how to "purl" - the stitch that makes all things awesome and possible. Like ribbing, stockinette stitch, cables, etc. Just bring whatever yarn and needles you have hanging around and we'll get you purling in no time. Come on over, it's always a great time!

Hope to see you there,
Michelle
